Would (or do) you teach your children that it is OK to take things they're not entitled to? Let's say their teacher tells the children if they get an 'A' on the next exam, they'll get a cookie, as an incentive for the children to study harder. If your kid gets a C, would you tell him or her it's OK to take one of the cookies reserved for the students who got an A, even though one of the students who earned the A and the cookie wouldn't get a cookie, as he was supposed to?

I would tell them to do what they had to do to survive or get ahead.
Personally I don't believe in bribing children with sweets or toys to induce learning or good behavior.
