  Case: Fire Drills
My class does not take fire drills seriously. No matter how often I say to them, although fire drills are for practice, we still must follow protocol as if it was a real one they still act up. Embarrassed as my class is the only class running and talking during the drill, I've tried everything that I've seen suitable to get them to do right. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I know this might take some class time, but it might be better to spend some time on it versus them acting out during the fire drill. I would have them practice the fire drill the day before and the day of the fire drill. Modeling the expectations during the fire drill may help them respond better during the drill.

Comments: This solution would take away from the class time that they students need. They don't have enough time in the classroom without losing the extra time for the extra drill.

Comments: If you do that, you'd have to waste an entire day just practicing fire drills. Its impractical and it doesn't guarantee they'll behave the next day.
