  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 would provide some sort of incentive for the class. I would also make it interesting by timing how long it takes to get out of the classroom and to the designated area and see how they improve over time.

Comments: I like this idea. Safety is very important and students don't always understand that these 'drills' could be real someday. Using real news stories to teach the importance of these drills would make them more realistic for the students.
