Carrot is King
“ I went to a very academic, very strict school. I did okay. At seventeen, I transferred to Sevenoaks where the carrot reigned supreme, and still does. My IB results knocked my GCSEs into a cocked hat. I put it down to the power of positive reinforcement. If excellence is expected, it is forthcoming. No need for sticks.”
