  Case: Pushing in Line
When my class lines up, they tend to push and argue over spots. We line up in ABC order but they run to get in line! They also ski[ each other and this become a noisy issue in the hallway. What can I do to fix this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You could call students to line up based on who is being quiet, or call them by rows or groups depending on how they are sitting. If they run or misbehave in line they have to go back to their seats and try it again. It will take awhile the first couple of days to get students used to an orderly procedure, but once they understand that you are not going to back down from it, they will eventually comply. You could also consider using rewards to positively reinforce students who are meeting your expectations in line.

Comments: I think this is a great solution. If the student realizes he/she may have to sit down and start over this may stop the bad behavior.

Comments: I agree, calling the students up by name instead of all at once will help eliminate the shoving and pushing. It will give them the incentive to behave in order to be in the front of the line.

Comments: I agree with this solution. I use the same process when dismissing students and when passing out rewards or other materials. When I do it I also announce something like, "this group is nice and quiet, you can go put your supplies away, get in line, etc.".
