Smart Toys at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda will give kids big discounts on toys for good report cards. For example, if you bring in a report card with 5 As, you'll get 40% off!
The store has standard Toys R Us-style toys, but also many "smart" toys. One of my favorites I saw was a kit that turns a soda can into a robot. First of all, it only costs $15 bucks. But secondly, it teaches kids about recycling. And without low-down moneymaking schemes like the Montgomery County bag tax. I still see bags along the roads, and the politicians have $2 million more play money to funnel to the people who get them elected.
Better to prove your sincerity by paying someone to use a reusable bag, or giving them a smart toy.
Anyway, I think Smart Toys has a great idea here, and it doesn't cost the taxpayers anything.
