Reward v/s Punishment System

Another method that i don't like in Universal Academy Charter School is their kids point system and how it is demotivating kids from being creative and interactive.
UA (Universal Academy) uses a system that i call "Punishment System" where kids loose a point every time they do a bad job.
on the other hand Valley Ranch uses a system that i call "Reward System" where kids gain a point every time they do a good job.
Both sounds same right but here is the difference.

in Punishment Systems, Kids are more concerned about loosing a point which makes them less creative, less interactive and always worried about what actions will make them loose a point. This is stopping kids from being more creative.
In a Reward System, Kids are more creative, interactive and always looking for ways to earn more points, their creativity and talent comes up.
Here is our real experience.
My kid has a science assignment to create a poster to safety in science lab. she chose to talk about safety glasses and her idea was to use picture of an "eye" instead of alphabet "I" but she was hesitant saying what if her teacher did not understand took away a point"
but if only they had a Reward System, this is what my kid would have said, I may get an extra point for showing my creativity.
The difference, in the Punishment System, kid is worried about loosing where as in Reward System kid is not worried about loosing but more interested in getting extra reward.
Hope this gives all other parents an idea about which system to follow. My parents always followed "Punishment System" but I'm changing the system for my kids.
