shut up.

Silence is a very rare thing at school. There isn't a fear of getting in trouble which is present at most schools, the students simply don't care if they get in trouble. Most times when they do something wrong nothing happens to them and if something does, its usually not that bad.

Teachers deal with the lack of silence differently. Some teachers bring yard sticks and beat them on the desks when they want students to be quiet. Others turn off the lights and wait for attention (which often never comes). When taking a test a lot of teachers give everyone zeros if the class cannot remain quiet. Today during 6th period I heard the teacher next door to me shout "Sit down and shut the fuck up!"

That's pretty common too.
