My lower level chemistry class is really starting to lose interest as the material is getting a little more complex in the second semester. They simply will not stop talking and the consequences I can enact seem to have no effect for a portion of the class. When I suggested to admin consequences like taking away phones for a day or not going on field trips, they essentially said, “no. We can’t do that.” Note: I have several other classes in different subjects / levels and they are fine. It’s just that 6-8 kids in this class don’t care about the consequences I can control.
So I’m thinking about having a sit down conversation with the class about how to make the classroom so that it can be more functional. Essentially say, “there’s a problem in that we can’t cover the material as class is functioning now so how can we solve this problem?”
I’ve never done this before though, so I’m curious if others have tried and what your suggestions would be to increase the chances of it working out well. Thx!
