I'm often shushed by the students while in my library<G>. I cannot let
each teacher dictate how the library will be run according to their
classroom because I often have three different classes in the LMC at one
time. So my rules go. The rules are: no yelling across the room, no
eating or drinking, computers are for class assignments during class
time. That's pretty much it. Oh yeah, and if they come in to take a
test they cannot sit with someone else. :-)

Subject: Re: VENT: "There is no talking in the library"
Each teacher has a different teaching style. When a teacher comes to
our library they bring their style with them, and we respect that. When
a class is in the library, it is the teacher's rules that they follow.
Some of our teachers want total silence - that is fine. Other teachers
allow talking. I prefer to allow the teachers to set their rules for
the library. Students know that they can talk when they come to the
library on a pass, without a teacher. I think you should respect the
teacher's style. Silence is sometimes appropriate in the library - and
sometimes talking is appropriate. Teaching students to recognize what
is appropriate, and adapting to that, is what is more important.
