  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 have a fire fighter come in a talk to the students about fire drills and why they are important. Sometimes it takes another person saying the same thing for the students to get what you are trying to get across to them. I would also have a reward system like class dojo implemented for the students as well. To help reinforce what you and the fore fighter have told the students about why fire drills are important.

Comments: Having a firefighter or someone else come in and talk to the classroom could be a possible way as well as having a positive reinforcement method..
