OK, today in my class in high school, my teacher’s throat hurts so she cannot raise her voice. My classmates are talking loudly after the bell rings and still talk after the teacher stands up and trying to make the class calm down. Today there is a test, so time is precious. They are all AP kids so they should know what to do, but apparently they don’t. So, in order to help out, I yelled loudly saying “QUIET!!!” The really loud kind that hurts ear drums. I thought I was just trying to help, but the more I think about it, the more I think maybe I am being impolite. So, am I impolite by doing this? And…if it happens again, how should I help my teacher to calm the class down effectively?

You’re not being impolite. Because, you see, there is always going to be a noisy classroom where everybody disrespects the teachers and cant shut up. If anything, your CLASSMATES are being impolite in not considering the teacher’s rules and for being loud when her throat hurts like that. You have every right to ask them to be quiet, even in a loud voice. I can’t think of a better way to knock some sense into those disrespectful kids.
In the future, you may want to ask the teacher “May I help?” before ‘taking over’ to quiet the others down. If the others will listen to you without your having to raise your voice, you wouldn’t need the teacher’s permission. If you are going to get everyone’s attention on you instead of the teacher, even briefly, to be truly polite about it you should have that permission from the person who should be in charge.
If it only happened this once, I don’t think your teacher would have a problem with it. Truly.
I would have done exactly the same thing…although I am aware that it might make me look like a suck-up. In your own self interest though, you had an interest in the class shutting up as quickly as possible so the test time would not be diminished…hang in there, brotha–
I wish you would have been in my classes in school. I hate loud disruptive kids. I think all my teachers just stopped trying to calm the other kids down and was teaching only me.
No, I don’t think it is.
You were trying to be respectful to the teacher and help out.
in my opinion that was a responsible thing to do
Well, they were being impolite. You got their attention didn’t you!? I think you did a good job. You probably scared a lot of people, but now they know not to mess with you!… or your teacher!
It wasn’t your place to demand that your classmates be quiet. I think your heart was in the right place in trying to help your teacher but you should not have done that.
OK so you asked a question and when someone disagrees with you , you basically say you don’t want answers that disagree with what you did. I’ll just bet you don’t have many friends.
No, usually when kids do it in my school, the teachers say thanls.
