Paying Your Children to Develop Skills - A Brief Childhood Memory

I was going through my old belongings when I came across this old Commodore 64 book. Back in the 80's when I was a tiny kid, my Dad used to pay me 25 cents an hour to learn to write code from this manual.

He also used to pay me to write stories where I used new vocabulary words. I ended up doing a lot more of that than code.
