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!) I think the first step is to figure out which group of students (or one) starts these conversations. I would walk around the class and talk about the lesson as I stand next to students. I feel like students chatter less when the teacher is right beside them. Seating charts can help and moving the talkative students next to the lesser ones could help too. Pulling students aside and holding them after class, let them know you will call their parents. If none of the solutions help, I think you should start handing out write-ups or detention slips. Warning the students beforehand that if it does not stop detention slips will be handed out.                 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: I agree that walking around the class and identifying the biggest problems is a good first step.
