  Case: Rushing to leave
What I dislike the most is when students pack up their book bags before class is even over in anticipation of the end-of-period bell. What can I do to stop that?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The easiest thing to do is have a bell procedure. An example is that when the bell rings or a bus is called, you are the one that dismisses the students after they have been called. Then when you decide you are done with your lesson or the first bell has rung, students pack their things and sit quietly on the carpet. During their time on the carpet you can do a quick fun activity like mad libs or riddles.
