Just interested really - not on any particular side of the fence. Have been reading on here about Alfie Kohn who I think seems to suggest this is not neccessarily a productive approach. Then in college the lecturer was talking about this last week and how rewards and sanctions 'control' children but don't actually teach them how to behave. All the secondary teachers on the course agreed with this (I'm primary) and said that in secondary the rewards/sanctions approach just doesn't work. Any thoughts?
