The troublesome they made was a hot potato. Even if communicated with their parents to think the solution to what to do, but also did no good for resolving the problems.So, the teachers were in order to calm them down, teachers used a carrot and stick strategy to treat them.

Teachers were happy and glad to see the maturity from the twins.
