What can I do to stop that? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) As the teacher, I would try to understand that no one really wants to be in a class longer than they must. I do not have an issue with students packing and waiting for the bell as long as they are not disrupting their classmates or interrupting me. If the class happens to finish their daily coursework prior to the end of the class, it should be okay for student to prepare to leave. It would only be an issue if the students are packing while I am giving a lesson or while others are still working on their in-class assignments. In this case, I would inform the class that whoever packs their bags before the bell will be the last to leave.
