I have seen it and so have others, students talking over other students, not letting students finish there comments, students getting cut off. First of all have you seen this and secondly are you ok with this? If not what suggestion do you have to help limit this from happening?
I think that we need to just establish a system so everybody can talk without being talked over. Maybe before we start an assignment, the class can group together before hand and discuss options. Maybe even go as old school as raising hands so everyone's opinions get heard.

I think it is just rude when someone is butting in without letting one another finish what they have to say, because everyone's opinion matters and some may lead to really good ideas. Also with zoning each other out doesn't show any respect. We all do it, even I do it a lot. We all need to work on focusing on the talker inorder to gain their trust and respect.

I agree with Claire! I think we should probably go as old school as raising our hands, because weve tried other things and they dont seem to be working. We will start out with a system that seems to work and by the end of the discussion people start intrupting people and then bashing ideas.

I agree with Claire and Kayla. It seems childish but if it works, why not. During in class discussions, some people tend to just shout out "QUIET. ONE AT A TIME." That creates a very awkward and demanding attention. We should all be able to contribute without the need to yell at others.

maybe we need a kind of designated leader who acts like a teacher and calls on individual people because if everyone just raises there hands not all people will know whose supposed to be talking

It's just frustrating because we have so many leaders in our class that other people feel too intimidated to talk!!

People do cut off each other because they either are not paying attention or they are having side conversations. To limit this I think we should just stay alert or have a leader/spokesperson.

DeleteI have definatly seen this happen and I haven't really done much about because I don't speak up very much but I think I would be a great Idea to come up with a system in which everyone gets a chance to share there ideas.

I have seen this problem someone cutting off others' comments. I think that people should remind others who cut off others saying or make a quiet environment for others to speak up. We all should help and repect each other.

I have definitely seen this, and I'm not okay with. We all know that it's very good to have different ideas then other people but we have to wait for our turn to talk and not talk over someone who is trying to share theirs. I think we should do what has been working at school for years, raising our hands. That way, everyone's opinions will be heard without interruption.

I have definitely seen this, and I agree that it is a problem. People can have really good ideas but not be able to get them out because they were talked over, and we're losing their contributions because of this. I'd suggest a plan that I read in Lord of the Flies; there can be an artifact that someone has to be holding if they want to speak. That way, only one person can speak at a time.

I think we should listen if other is still talking befor say out our own ideas. Be respect and have little more patient. Everyone may think differently and there is always a better one, it is possibel we have 40 different ways but just hold one moment..
ReplyDeleteTina Li
I think it's more of an individual problem than something that can be fixed with a rule. People have to take responsibility and be respectful. Maybe raising our hands and talking with an animal would work, but many people still chose to talk over those with the animal and things move slower.
ReplyDeleteNora Bosslet
This problem happened all the time as we have a group conversation. Sharing ideas is good, but cutting off other is not ok! Control yourself from cutting off others, listen and concentrate on what people are talking about. Be patience, sometimes "Silence is golden"

I saw this during the ball activity and I think we should do something about it. An idea would be we appoint a leader for each activity like we did with Claire L. for the mat activity because that just seems to work really well for everyone.
ReplyDelete-Amanda Jensen
It does bother me a little because it's kind of annoying. I'm a big listener to not being able to hear people's complete thoughts isn't good. I think we can establish a main person to control the group just like teachers do in classrooms in order to pick on people and have everyone listen to what they have to say.
ReplyDeleteKelly Dudar
I have also seen it in class. I feel like everyone has a lot of good ideas and everyone wants to be the person who comes up with the idea on how to solve the activity, because I'm sure a lot of people can admit that it feels pretty good to be that person. But like a lot of other people are saying maybe we should go back to the old fashion rasing hands thing.. it wouldnt be a lot of fun, but it could work.

I did witness these behaviors, but I don't think of these behaviors badly, because they portray students' effort to contribute over others. This may look disorderly when people are trying to take over others by raising their voices, but this seemingly disorganized class helps us relate to our realistic society. For example, for those who voice their opinions, they usually become leaders. Not only can we see this in today's society but also relate to this in historical contexts. For instance, the great Greek philosopher Aristotle voiced his many philosiphical suggestions that they even reached the ears of the sovereigns at that time. Thus, he became a noted philosopher. However, if a nonentity mumbles to himself about some philosophical suggestions that might be even better than Aristotle's, he will stay as a nonentity, and his great philosophy would remain unknown. By perusing previous examples, I can properly state, "I'm ok with this."
ReplyDeleteHowever, I agree with the general idea of cutting off people is improper and rude.

Don't hate my opinion.. :P
DeleteIt's usually the same people who talk over others. It isn't necessarily a bad thing because it shows leadership skills and they want everything to be organized. But the person who is talking over someone else is making the original person feel less important. It should be talked about more in class to see how it can be resolved.
ReplyDeleteKelly Polivka
I so think this is a problem because the class may not hear important ideas simply because one person talks louder than another. If a student notices this happening they could nicely tell the other student to listen.
ReplyDelete-Michelle Baum
When we are having a discussion in our circle, we need to do the same thing as the talking clock. Listening to someone else, undesterbed untill they fully get there point across. We need to practice complete attention on the preson talking, and not what is going on in our own mind at the time.
ReplyDeleteChristin Ross Cano
I think that we should all find a way to be heard in a polite manner. Some people get mad at other people for cutting them off but at the same time that person is doing the exact same thing. I just think we all should be more aware of what's happening and who's talking and sharing their ideas because for some people it's not that easy and if they get cut off once they might not volunteer again because of fear of being cut off.
ReplyDeleteElena Knudsen
I have seen this happen, and I think it's because people have ideas that they aren't comfortable sharing with the whole class but they are comfortable sharing with the person next to them, so they'll have a side conversation during the whole class discussion. I'm not sure how but I think we should find a system that lets everyone talk and be heard so we can know everyone's ideas.
ReplyDeleteMaggie Bednarek
Yes I have seen this, but no I do not think it is okay. I find it very frustrating when people talk over me, and I'm aware I do it to others. My entire family does it so I'm trying hard to break that habit. I feel that we should have a talking stick or something because for the most part I've found that works pretty well. Sorry, my post didn't go through so it looks late :( but it wasn't. Sorry Mr. H.
ReplyDeleteClaire Herdegen
Yeah I've definitely seen this and its really annoying. I think I've been doing a really good job about not talking over people because I know how much it frustrates me. I think we all just need to take a chill pill and listen to what everyone has to say
ReplyDeleteAndrea Cozzi
I think we all need to have open ears and respect eachother while they are speaking. No one wants to be talked over if try believe they have a helpful idea or point. Everyone should start putting others before themselves and be open with others ideas an opinions other than their own.
