Problem I have

I seem to have some students who continuously dribble from their mouths. Although the spill can sometimes be amusing, many times it is a bit of a huge distraction to those who are actually trying to learn and or listen.

My resolution to this is to keep them busy with extra work, as when they are busy they don't seem to talk as much. Also, students who have multiple things to do often do not multitask as much, so talking is the one item cut out. However, sometimes overwhelming amounts of work has the exact opposite effect, and all they do is talk. A happy medium is needed.
