The noise level
The noise level of this class is unbearable at moments when everyone is out of control. The weird thing is that this is only during period six, not period one. We get unbearable when Mrs. Risser is speaking to everyone or in small groups. If anyone is speaking the whole class replays to that one person and then starts to talk to the people around then. I think this happens because there aren’t any strict rules or consequences of talking when there not suppose too. I think that to prevent this I think you need to wait for everyone to stop talking and then tell us that we need to get our work done. I also think you could be more strict sometimes, but not too strict. In a report done by the Journal of Neuroscience, they said that adults can handle listening to something with noise better than teenagers or younger kids can. In this study, they put kids in one room and adults in another room. They then play a guy reading four short stories, but with people loudly talking in the background. The adults listen better than the kids and understand what is going on in all four stories somewhat, but the kids don’t understand what the guy said almost the whole entire time. If we continue in our classroom with our noise level we will end up not knowing anything that Mrs. Risser is saying unless we quiet down and let people talk. When asked we can be talkative, but not all the time. We will make Mrs. Risser never want to do fun things with us. We need to stay at our respected noise level until we are outside the school or asked to be loud inside the classroom.
