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 think most students don't take fire drills seriously because they don't know how serious they are. I remember when I was in school fire drills were just something we did we were never told why we did them and why they are serious. I would explain to the students why this is serious, show them news reports of school fires and if they don't listen to you bring in a fire marshall to explain the seriousness of the situation.
