[quote=Anonymous]They use this in the PG county schools I am familiar with, too. I decided on alternative school options partly because I wanted to avoid it. DS is at a school now that uses the Responsive Classroom methodology, as mentioned above, and it seems to work well and it is a respectful environment. My child would probably never or rarely have gotten yellows or reds, because he adores rules. But he is also a perfectionist, and the THOUGHT of getting onto yellow would have obsessed him, getting in the way of learning. And, like another poster said, kids have a hard time thinking their behavior might be yellow and bad, but THEY are fine as a person. They see us label their bad behavior and feel they are bad people. Describing the behavior and how it impacts them and other people is helpful; slapping a yellow or red label on a kid is not.[/quote]
