Lindsey, Many (but not all) get the message when their instructors pauses to silently "imply" they are being a distraction. It's amazing that some just don't get it, and this step would have to be repeated more than one. Speaking to the student (or students) afterwards may help, and is definitely needed. In my syllabus, I put a standard remark about my prerogative to re-seat students for any reason. I have had to resort to that, too. That helps 90% of the time. Even so, there's always some that just don't get it. Barry Westling
