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.”
Eliza Ecclestone, Class of 1991, Governor
