Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Read them! If a student knows that you are going to read their secret words they will never pass another note again. If it is still going on, explain that you will put the note on the elmo and the class will help to correct grammer and punctuation. It sounds mean, but notes are usually filled with talk about other students and it just isnt right. Notes can start rumors, tell about fights that may be happening, there are a lot of tings that teachers do not want p0assed around the class, colds and notes are the top two!                 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: Rated On: February 19, 2013 2:34 am Rated By: Jepupy                 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: Rated On: February 22, 2013 3:42 pm Rated By: ypedeD                 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: While a bit harsh, I think this solution is by far the most effective.

A past teacher of mine did this and it was very effective.

It might embarrass the person who sent the note or the person they are talking about in the note. I think it is best to keep the note but talk to the students after class and explain passing notes is unacceptable.

The student could have problems in their home life that they wanted to express through notes to their friend. Reading them out loud would only make matters worse.

I would not use this solution.

The notes being read, if they are about another student, could be really defeating and mean. It is not okay to do this in front of everyone. I think other things could be done before this.
