The same way the regular teacher would, but with far less chance of being obeyed.

At first,
SILENTIUM!

then, when that hasn't worked,
TACETE!

Thank you, George! Would siletis be correct as well since that is the second person plural conjugation for silere? Just wondering.

@sybilgirl,
That is the indicative mood.
Siletis would be translated "you are silent".
I think you want the imperative mood, silete,
"be silent".

You're welcome, sybilgirl.
