My sons school has introduced a credit card type thing. They get points put onto a card for good work, good behaviour, and anything that goes beyond what is expected of them. They can save these points up and spend them in Argos....
Make that little bit more effort and you will be rewarded :-)
Reminds me of a teacher that I used to have. He seen my potential and pampered me. I tried and tried to impress him. One year in his class changed my life. He's my friend on FB.....Apparently, all I needed was a little bit of encouragement.
