I believe that the best teaching methods for getting kids to behave is a not-so-strict-not-so-easy method. In other words, a method that won't work, as you will have an image of negativity thrust upon you as a person, is the strict approach. This may make students behave, but they won't like you, and won't pay attention in your class, as they are likely to not like your class either. The easier method that is also a method that you shouldn't approach, is the easy-going method. This method is where you allow students to basically do what they want, if they aren't misbehaving to an extreme. Sure, your students will love you, and your class, but they won't get any work done. The one, best method for getting students to behave, is exactly what it should be; a little bit of both. Allow students to work at their own pace and collaborate, but don't allow too much side-conversational matter.
