9. I did, but it took me years to learn this tidbit.

The people that are teaching classroom management are a specific type of person. Very rule oriented. Yellows if you have done that color personality thing. If you aren't a yellow, then that won't work for you. I spent a good deal of time trying to do what I was taught and it never worked. Only once I started realizing it wasn't my thing (which took far too many years for me to realize) that I started adopting classroom management tactics that work for me (I'm a green). I haven't sent a kid to the office going on 3 years now. And before that one kid, it was another 2 years. That kid tried to say he didn't do anything which the office staff laughed at.
