I feel like I have tried everything and yet they still won't listen. I have tried positive reinforcement, enforcing punishment, and even ignoring it at times. What haven't I tried yet? I have no idea what to do next. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Proximity interference is a strategy you could test for this situation. It is a less invasive intervention approach that doesn't disrupt the class. If this doesn't work, I noticed that someone noted making the lesson more interactive to stimulate engagement. You could try using sites like kahoot! or use debate-style activities that involve the whole class. 12th graders are going to talk no matter what, and using that to your advantage by incorporating their need to talk into meeting objectives and stimulating academic achievement would provide a great opportunity to have the best of both worlds for yourself and your students in the classroom.                 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: Keeping the students in ear-shot is a great way to keep them from talking.
