Perhaps I should have said they DIDN'T teach you that?.... Maybe they still don't. 

I went to Moray House in 1974. I'm nearly as old as Buspasspar.  😁

I lectured at Moray House on secondment for 2 years and behaviour management wasn’t ever on any part of PGDE coursework.  We changed that!  Always bearing in mind student teachers or probationers onward should always follow school policy.  
 

that was 91-93, long after GGs time!

We're going a bit off topic here, but when I started out in teaching, we shut the classroom door and got on with it. There was no guidance in classroom management, you learned from your mistakes - hopefully. 

We did watch a brilliant video round about 1980 on an in-service day at the start of a new session. In the first part, the teacher made every mistake imaginable; turning up late to find two boys fighting, totally dairsorrganised, asking the class what they had covered last lesson, etc. In Part 2, the same actors ran through the sequence again, showing how it should be done; the teacher was there in gorord time tor welcome the class,settled the kids down quickly, asked them to open their textbooks at page X.....
