  Case: Homeroom
Every morning, Mr. Brown's homeroom students are very loud. Mr. Brown has asked many times to sit down and be quiet. He has assigned silent lunch to those disruptive students and assigned silent homeroom when needed. The students, however, continue the behavior daily. What other strategies could Mr. Brown try both for individual students and/or whole group?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Depending on the age group, he should try negotiating with students. I allow students to spend time visiting within the classroom as long as their noise level is appropriate. This is allowed as long as students find their assigned seat and a quiet activity when the tardy bell rings with the two minute warning for announcements. When announcements come on, it is their cue to get their materials on their desk for the day to begin warm-up immediately after the announcements.

Comments: Negotiating with students won't necessarily work. They already aren't listening.

Comments: I am unsure how good of an idea it is to allow others into your homeroom, especially since other homeroom teachers have rules about coming straight to the class and staying in the class. It can also be very distracting to other students in the class when others are constantly coming in and out while they try and prepare for class or read and such.
