I had a meeting with the new head of a local primary this week. She mentioned how horrified she was when she arrived to find that the school still used stickers as rewards.
My own kids' primary is awash with stickers, and so are many of the primaries I visit.
I have googled, and can only find a tiny bit of info about this, based on the need for children to value the intrinsic reward of hard work, done well.
I don't disagree with this, but was surprised at how she reacted; it was as if stickers were widely accepted to be outdated practice. If so, no-one has told many other schools.
Just interested in wider experience of this.
