Tired of the principal knowing your name? Tired of getting constant phone calls to parents? Want to quit talking but can't? Read on to find out how to avoid talking in class.
1If your teacher allows you to choose your own seat, try not to sit by a talkative friend in your class. Chances are, if your teacher sees your friend talking to you, he or she will be angry with both of you. The more talkative kids generally sit near the back or in the middle. People near the front and on the sides are generally more reserved kids because they are nearer to the teacher. Take a seat in the front, and you'll be less tempted to talk.Ad
2Tape a piece of paper on the corner on your desk. Write a reminder such as "Don't talk in class!" or "Silence is Golden!" This may remind you to be less talkative and of the consequences if you don't.
3Have a friend constantly remind you to be quiet, so that something is always nagging you into muteness. Just be cautious that if your teacher sees your friend whispering "Remember to be silent," she/he will think your friend is talking to you about non-school related activities.
4Sit towards the front of the class. That way your teacher can see you and you really won't want to talk!
5Don't get discouraged. Just keep trying. No matter what, don't stop trying to be quiet, because if your teacher is really mean, she/he might give you detention or a referral to the office for talking.
6Don't crack jokes in class. The teachers will view this as disruptive and yell at you.
7Don't respond when a friend tries to engage you in conversation.(VERY important rule in the classroom!) If your friends attempt to talk to you in class, just say "I'm trying to pay attention to (Teacher's name here) so that I can get a better grade. Can we talk at lunch?" Your friend will probably respect you and talk to you later.Ad
