How to control a class where the kids shout at each other and shout?

Question

Answer 1

Follow the schools disclipline policy

Answer 2

Well I am a teacher myself at age 17!

I was also having the same problem in the starting but as the months has passed I got idea of just punishing them like putting them out of the classroom. Sometimes the Vice Principle and Principle would of good use in this matter. I am usually telling them that I am writing each and everyones name who is disturbing and would certainly give the names to the principle who will suspend them!

Answer 3

i dont know, maybe you could give them pot brownies to calm them, but yeah thats illegal

Answer 4

It sounds like they are screaming for attention. Use it. Ask one of the shouters to come up in front of the class and speak. Don't belittle him or her but allow the class to offer input while you control their responses. If some of the others are still rowdy, tell them they will have their turn to address the class. Let them know that you are interested in them not only as students, but as people and you really want to know what is on their minds.

I hope this works for you. Good luck.

Answer 5

you need to let your students know what is expected of them in your classroom.  and make sure that your expectations are high.  if a student doesn't meet the expectations, they should deal with the consequences.  and also make sure the students are aware of the consequences.  so every time a student shouts out at someone in class they will have to face the music.

Answer 6

you can let them debate it out--sometimes once they get it off their chests they are ok.  Otherwise, whisper--it's strange but if you whisper they will too, at least it works for me up to 4th grade...

Answer 7

LAY DOWN THE LAW!!! Tell them that they are going to be written up if they don't settle down!

Answer 8
