  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!)
Students rarely take anything serious that they do not see any value in. I tell my students at the beginning of the school year that safety is the most important aspect of school. Learning is second. If they still do not take fire drills seriously, consider sharing with them the effects of a fire and why practicing leaving the building in an orderly way is essential. Hopefully, your student will begin to see the real reasons behind safety measures such as fire drills.
