cougarmeister How does this work?

The kid's parents are going to find out and accuse your son of "taking" money from him, or some other kid will get jealous and tell the teacher, who will involve the Principal, etc, etc, etc.

POLL: Found out my 6th grader plays QB at recess and another kid has been paying him $1 every time he throws him the ball. My son has $46 cash from him so far. Should we intervene?

Keep accepting the deal, but don’t throw to him at all several days in a row. The price will go up.

I’m not sure. He said there are like 20 people on each team calling for the ball

Maybe consider mentioning it to the parents of the other kid - but that's as far as I would go. I appreciated it when

Could be an only kid for some wealthy parents? Less kids = more money to spend on solo kid.

Sounds like a win/win.

The kid is paying your kid for confidence and credibility amongst his peers. I don't see it as that big of a deal if..

Yes, but wait until he's made an even $100

75% of CB thinks it's great. 100% of CB would be livid if it was at BYU or a ref

You want to compare 6th grade recess football to high level college athletics?

Is the other kid a proficient receiver able to catch the ball most of the time?

I was thinking lower to a quarter to be more fair, but should really return it
