should students be aloud to take naps in class?

yes.  some people have special dietary needs, like diabetics who need to eat at scheduled times.  also, hunger can be distracting, causing students to be less able to focus on their studies.  lunch at school shouldn't be required but it certainly should be available.  for some students from low income families their school lunch is the only meal they get all day. i also think breakfast should be available, but that wasn't really your question.

None, I find it distracting and can study much better in a quiet place.

because most people do not know how to chew gum quietly and it may drive the teacher and other students crazy to have to listen to it. I know that when I am taking a test, if someone is chewing thier gum loudly behind me, I can't concentrate.\nvery irratating!

yup it's absolutely ok to wake them up cuz it's hazardous for them...it woould mean problems with their heart...and u can even ask them to lie on their sides..that would lessen the snoring... =)) hope this helps!

I just finished my 2nd semester of law school, and I am also sleeping in that much since last week. I assume that it is our body telling us that it is catching up on the sleep that we deprived it of for so many months. There has been research done on that; they refer to it as a sleep bank. So, as long as you are not emotionally unstable, there is nothing wrong with relaxing your body and busy mind with sleep. As you know, once school kicks in again, we will be sleep deprived again. Enjoy! :o)

You need the sleep. Study right before bed and your mind will put it all into storage as you sleep. If you insist on staying awake your grade will be disappointing but try espresso or yellowjackets

Yes, because passing a note in class is disruptive and it is being disrespectful to the teacher and to other students.

If they banned snorers from dorm rooms, half the colleges in America would have empty residence halls!\n\nBut since you're already identified as a "problematic snorer", asking about a single room sounds like a good move (especially if you're willing to share the results of the sleep study with the residential advisory staff; MIGHT get you a better chance for a single).  \n\nOtherwise, be honest, tell them on the form that you're a heavy snorer (hey, it's not all that different from saying "night owl" or "prefer quiet-hours dorm"), so you might be matched with someone who doesn't mind the noise (or who brings earplugs).  \n\nI know some folk who can sleep through the sound of earthmoving equipment at dawn, so you might not be that hard to match up with a roommate, especially since you're being courteous and indicating a potential challenge exists.\n\nGood luck on your proposed transfer and future as an architect!

Sounds like a cultural issue to me.  Kind of like how in Mexico they take a siesta in the afternoon.  Yet, actually the hispanic population are hard workers, a misconception, really.  I work better with a nap too!  So without being familiar with the cultural aspect of your students, I am wondering motivates?  Good grades?  Tell them if work is a day late it won't recieve better than a C no matter how good the work is.  Perhaps a reminder about how much material this course must cover this semester, how they will not be prepared for next course if material isn't covered, not getting value for tuition dollars by not working at the class or something.  This may seem strange, but what motivates the parents?  Speaking to the elders may give you insight on how to reach the kids.  Or not.  ;-)  Really, I truly wish the best for you on this, but remember that if they don't want to learn, you can't make them learn.

i don't think they're really necessary, but if they're left off during the day, and only used at, say lunch and after class, i don't see any problem. But i know that people will abuse that privellege (sp?) no matter what.

ofcourse man. sometimes the brain needs to relax in order to function at the maximum. that's why you do better at study after waking from nap or when you are studying at a soothing enviroment.

Every time I need to keep a part of my class quiet and occupied I do a word search with vocabulary or spelling words.  Its really pretty cool, check it out:\nwww.puzzlemaker.com

Actually, it depends on the child. But, the general rule of thumb is 8-10 hours. Most school age children need a good night's rest to do well in academics.

In a school I went to for my GED there was, as in nearly any class, detractive students.  It was actually suggested that we tell interrupting students to be quiet, and that the teacher would not have any qualms with that.  Depending on the individual, there are numerous tacks to take.  If this person is a brat they may be acting out, and even assaulting you.  Watch for clever verbal assaults.  One of the best responses I've found is: "It's unfortunate that you feel that way!"  If that doesn't work try: "Everyone in the class knows what you're up to."  You'll be surprised how well that works!
