Throughout the whole school day, all they want to do is talk, talk, talk. How can I get this group of friends to stop talking throughout the whole school day?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted April 2, 2023 5:25 pm atyraQ Reps: 203 Firstly, if you have a seating arrangement with assigned seating you should rearrange it to separate those students. If you do not have assigned seating I would recommend setting one up. If not you could always split them up temporarily when the behavior occurs. For example, the group starts talking and you tell them to stop, if they do not stop, I would move them from each other for the rest of class.

I would rearrange the desks and assign these students into different areas of the room to separate the group.

Establish clear expectations for behavior and consequences for ongoing disruptions. To maintain their interest and reduce the desire to chat, offer fascinating and engaging lessons. Encourage active engagement so that class activities might satisfy their demand for social interaction.

If students can't respect your rules then they shouldn't get as much freedom.

If the talking does not stop, I separate them and then the talking ceases. You could try this a couple times and see what happens and then maybe put them all back together at their original desks because they now understand the consequences for their actions.

This way you can separate them. I would also review the classroom rules and expectations. I would review the consequences for breaking the rules.

Though, I do remind them that school is a place for learning. If these issues continue to happen, I would send a letter home to the parents, and separate the students Votes: +0 / -0 This Solution Is Useful   This Solution Is Not Useful   Comments posted for this solution Add a Comment                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.
