Sandeep Rai, Editor, GJIMT STUDY CIRCLE

What are manners?

People in prehistoric times learned to act in various ways that made life much easier and more pleasant for one another, after that early civilizations developed some rules for social conduct that were later called as etiquettes(Manners).Good manners show that you have respect for others.

How to implement manners in the classrooms?

It is very necessary for the students to be in manner and teachers to help them in doing so, in and throughout the class to gain what the teacher is teaching in the class.
Before we go to solutions, let us see some common examples that tend to make classroom etiquette a problem.
Habits Like
• Arriving late in the class Room .
• Chatting with each other during class or while fellow student is discussing something with the teacher.
• Trying to dominate your teacher on topics that he/she is teaching.
• Eating and drinking in class.
•Not concentrating when other students ask questions from the teacher.
• Packing before the lecture is fully completed.
• Leaving class early.
• Sleeping in class.
Use of Electronic Devices in classrooms
•Answering a cellphone in the classroom, use of devices like MP3 players, Handheld Games etc .

Solutions of these problems.

Beginning of the class.

Be on time in the class, if possible 5 minutes before the starting of the class.
Switch off Cell phones
Before the starting of the class switch off your mobile phones as they can disturb the study environment of the class..
Way of talking

Always come to the class prepared

 Every student need to come prepared with their subject books, notebook and a pen, if possible give a reading to the topic to be taught in the class.

 Bring your assignment, homework by the due date. Do not make excuses.

Avoid Unwanted Frustration
