Fifth-grade teacher Angela Pruitt is dealing with one of the most common classroom problems: talkative students. Three girls constantly disrupt the class by talking. Ms. Pruitt has moved the girls so that they sit apart from each other, but they still manage to waste time talking, passing notes, and giggling over something one of them has said. Howard Fredric Jones told Ms. Pruitt to handle this situation. Both Canter and Jones give suggestions for rule formation. How are the approaches similar? How do they differ?
