Encouragement is fine, but punishment for not putting effort in doesn't encourage a child. If a kid can get 20/20 in his math exams without putting his hand up in class, or asking questions in class or going to after school revision classes, why should he be punished?
Maybe you didn't understand what I meant, but my situation was that I GOT good grades, yet I was told off for not putting any effort in. Heck, I was even accused of cheating several times...
I would have prefered to be given homework more advanced than the class rather than staying there bored! Now, that would have been encouragement.
