  Case: Passing notes
How can I stop some of my students that are passing notes during my instruction?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One possible solution for stopping the passing of notes is sitting those students away from each other but close to you or in direct eye contact with you. If it becomes a more severe problem behavior you can give them a detention. I do not feel as if making them an example in front of the whole class is a good idea. So I would not recommend reading the note out loud or posting the note on the board.
