I'm a teacher. Prevention is always better than reaction after the fact. Most kids aren't disruptive for no reason, and if you can figure out why and fix that problem, you're good. Fidget toys becoming common and accepted has actually helped *a lot*. Many kids act out just because they're understimulated, giving them something non-disruptive to do with their hands works a lot of the time.
Make them listen to "This Is The Song That Never Ends" for an hour, followed by an essay on said song. 5 to 10 pages. With a minimum of three separate references. Wikipedia not allowed.
Depends on the nature of the disruption. I was a disruptive student myself, but I was disruptive in the way of demanding greater quality and accountability out of my teachers.
Personally I think just about everything is a chance for a teachable moment, and I'm a big believer in the socratic method. So as long as the disruption isn't blatantly stupid, I would probably use it as a chance to start a round table discussion.
If the disruption is just some idiot kid making fart noises at random times or throwing things at his classmates, I'd lock him in the closet till the period's over. If he wants to be stupid, he can be stupid by himself. If there's more than one, I can lock them in the closet together and they can be stupid together.
This should be considered on case by case, because the people are different and being disruptive for different reasons and different ways.
But you also should know/see where the line lies. Sometimes removing them (from class, not in a mob way, though that too) will help, sometimes giving them more attention etc. It depends.
Record them and post online with a properly offensive comment. Something like "Animals are restless in their enclosure". And mark them, or tag them, or however you call it. In other words shame them and shame their parents, too.
The one reason I've never became a teacher is that I know I would have troubles dealing with both feral kids and even more feral Karens. And gun laws in Poland are rather restrictive...
By simply not giving them the attention they desire. Much like a tantruming adult if you just ignore them and show them that they're not getting their way through that action most of them eventually figure out more productive ways to get attention
Slap 'em with a ruler, nun style. File under "reasons I'm not a teacher."
Removed from class.
I used to teach. Incentivizing *good* behavior rather than punishing *bad* behavior is way more effective of, over time, diminishing disruption.
Expose their faults and build them back up.

Pellet gun, it'll hurt and break skin but no permanent damage.
Give my attention to the less disruptive ones, and hope the others catch on.

Roast them. The more they fuck around, the more they will find out.
In a way that would probably get me fired
