From this, we keep getting back to class a minute or two late from the students picking up the things. What can I do to minimize this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think the best way to solve this problem is to focus on time management. If you know the students are slow at picking up, begin to clean-up earlier and set a timer that gives students an allotted time for clean-up. This way the teacher remains in control and expectations are set. Let students know that there will be consequences if clean-up exceeds the allotted time because lingering cuts into instructional time.
