The professional level of Primary Schools in Denmark needs raising in order for Denmark to maintain and leverage on its position in a fast-moving and competitive global-economy. Here there is broad consensus.
How we achieve this, is much less clear and the subject of considerable debate.
Experts, teachers, head-teachers, and parents have argued over years, and in general terms, these may be divided in two trains of thought:
Those who believe that more discipline is required, and that stronger class management, and a tighter consequence pedagogy are the way to more skilled students. And those who believe that increased student involvement, visible-learning and motivational-teaching are the way to go if students are to become more capable.

In four documentary programs we investigate whether Carrot or Stick is needed in the Danish Primary School.
