My 3rd grader talks too much in class. He is very smart, does extremely well, is very good-natured, and loves school, but he can't seem to stop the chit-chat. We have been working on this for a while now. Any new ideas?

have you asked him what would help? i had a friend with a child in 1st grade with a similar issue. her child's answer: magic potion. so they drank a special mixture of juices in the morning (just store-bought juice mixed with a little food coloring and some fizzy water). she's in second grade now and doing dramatically better in the behavior department.
