You are so right and it is what I said in my post too. Giving cash reward as an appraisal for student's academics is good but it should be once in a while and not something done always as it will definitely affect them later. I used myself as an example. I do reward the best student in my class but it's always unexpected. They don't know when I can give reward and so, they are always prepared as they know it can come anytime. When they become too used and relied on the cash, a time will come that they won't study hard when the reward stops coming.
