Louder, Please

Why is it that when during a normal classroom session, you have to ask students to keep their voices down repeatedly, but when asking kids to read aloud in class, they suddenly cannot speak higher than a marble-sized gerbil?

Normally I am talking and I hear OMG LIKE TOTALLY JUSTIN BIEBER OMG I GOT A NEW CELL PHONE TOTALLY TEXT ME YOUR NUMBER OMG

but when I ask them to read, when I WANT to hear them, it becomes

Charles looked up into the....sky, seeing the vats, I mean, vast clouds and birds...... flying..... overhead. He was amazed at........ what he saw.

And I will say "Louder please. Nice clear voices." LISTEN YOU TURDS, I KNOW YOU CAN READ LOUDLY CAUSE YOU CAN'T BE QUIET ANY OTHER TIME. QUIT YER MUMBLING.

    hahaha I totally know what you mean! It especially aggravates me when you ask them one question--what did you guys do this weekend?--and everyone jumps over each other to yell at you about how they went shopping, watched a movie, played soccer, but then when you ask them to say one thing they remember about the last class (Friday afternoon, mind you, and the movie they said they saw? Friday evening) and no one remembers anything, until one small tiny little voice suggests "we learned about science and brains?" Yes. Yes, we have been learning about brains for the past two weeks. Yep. Haha, but I enjoy them, as much as they make me complain (which I do, a LOT!).
