The principal visited your classroom and sympathized with you. The class is talkative and spends a lot of time bickering back and forth. The majority of class time is spent diffusing behavior problems. Twenty to thirty minutes into class, you can finally start teaching. What do you do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The teacher should start by individually addressing the major problem students and let them know that their behavior is unacceptable. I would also offer incentives to the class for improved behavior. For example, if it was a high school class you could say "The table that completes the most math problems this period and does so quietly will receive 3 points of extra credit to add to the next test."
