Find the ring leaders.
There are always 2-3 students who are leading the group. Who are they?
I don't care what age they are - call home.
See what happens the next day. Do they still act up? If not, great! Did anybody else start acting up - well, they are the new ring leaders. Call home.
While not every parent will be available, most will. Parents in general do not want to hear that their students are acting up. Here are there you get a parent who will fight with you. Here and there you get a parent who isn't responsive, but the good news is MOST do not want their kids to misbehave.
So, call home. Now! Do it! Which kids are controlling your classroom? Don't let them.
Goodnight. I'm super tired tonight, but this saved my life my first year.
