busy/ cut it out

busy: When Teacher is writing on the board, working with a student, or talking to another teacher, he is busy, so don't come up to him and scream in his face. This word is another great success. All I have to do is say "I'm busy" and the student walks away and waits for my attention.

cut it out: very simply "stop whatever you're doing." They already know "obnoxious" and "rude," so if they are being any of those things, "cut it out" will do the trick. I also taught the TPR hand actions (cut= 2 finger scissors, it= index finger point, out= thumb over shoulder)
