Sleeping Students

misscalcul8: When kids go to sleep or just do nothing in class, do you write them up or ignore them or...how do you deal with it?

@CrysHouse: @misscalcul8 I don't tolerate sleeping. If I can't nap, neither can you.

@CrysHouse: @misscalcul8 I usually warn once. Then I make them stand for the remainder of the period without leaning on furniture.

@CrysHouse: @misscalcul8 Generally, that's effective. If they continue to work, I don't make them keep standing. They have to "earn" their seat back.

@shanr55: @misscalcul8 get them involved. Give them a task, important and purposeful.

@Vvelasquez2: @misscalcul8 Depends on the students. I give leeway to special students, but still stay on them. Some students I try to regroup them.

@JamiDanielle: @misscalcul8 Wake them 100x til they get annoyed enough to swear at me, then write them up. Lol. #truthtelling

There's one week of school left so I give up on making them stay awake but I need a better plan to avoid this next year.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who struggles with this so I thought would share my responses from Twitter.

Any other ideas besides being more awesome?
