  Case: Best Friends
In the class I am mentoring, I have three students who I have to work with everyday after school. Two out of three of my mentees are best friends and are constantly talking in their native language. I have tried seating them farther from one another when we all work together, or having me or the third student sit between them. The teacher of the class knows they talk a lot, but only tells me to address it myself.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a tough one ! Your actions seem like you have hit all the obvious solutions. I think it is time to show them who the boss is , sorry . Give them a warning, possible say " you are going to loose a privilege" computer work , art , iPad time. Make sure the teacher is on board with what your game plan is. There was an teacher who would say " you have 1 min, 2 ..... and the student knew he/she would have to sit out of recess for that much time. It worked!

Comments: This is a great suggestion on how to handle the two friends in group work. Starting with a warning is a great first step and then moving onto more serious consequence, should drive the message home that these girls need to stop talking and pay attention.

Comments: This solution is the best because it shows the students who is in charge and that talking to one another when the teacher is speaking that is not when they are speaking and if the behavior continues they are going to lose privileges/rewards.

Comments: Warning first is definitely the way to go. If that doesn't work, disregarding warnings has to have consequences.
