We have been having a huge problem with control and quieting the students when we are all in the cafeteria for snack time. We do rewards and have a behavior system it just doesn't seem to be working. Any advice on how to maintain the noise level and get control over the students is appreciated. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) You need to be able to show control even when it is the students "free time". Having a presence by either clapping or raise of a hand to grab attention. Incentives only go so far and will only last for minutes. It is also not noticeable by the other students because they are preoccupied with talking.
