I am the most sarcastic person in the world, but sometimes I feel as though she can not get through a lesson because she is allowing these students to call out and make jokes every 5 seconds. How can I show her this is a distraction for most students? Also, how will I be able to stop this when I go to teach in her classroom? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would explain to them that there is a time and a place. Set yourself a tally mark on the board. There can only be three sarcastic or stories inserted to each lesson. Once the three tally marks are done, there is no more interjection. You still want them to feel included and that they can talk, but at the same time be managing your time wisely.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Agreed, its important to use the leave it at the door statement and let them know that behavior is not tolerated in the classroom.
