  Case: Speaking Volume
My school has lots of students that do not understand inside voices. They yell in the hallways. They speak loudly in many classrooms. I, on the other hand, do not think it is acceptable to speak so loudly. How do I teach students to use their inside voices in a school that does not?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would re-direct the students when possible, but I realize that this is difficult during transitions and such. I have one particular student who has a difficult time communicating in an "inside voice" and I simply explain that I will not answer him when using that tone. He then corrects the problem even if only for a short time.
