  Case: Class Ringleader
Most times you have leaders of groups within a class or perhaps a child who is more talkative than the others and the class clown if you will. In one of my classes, however, I have a boy who seemingly controls the whole class. If he doesn't approve of the assignment then the entire class dismisses it as well. Is there a way to deal with this behavior privately within the classroom or directly with the boy without taking the situation to the administration? What would you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
To me, it sounds like there is not a behavior management plan in place. I suggest going over the class rules and expectations again and start giving consequences! If the students know that there are no consequences for not working, why would they work? If they are blatantly not listening, I would start informing parents and administration. They need to understand that classwork in non-negotiable.

Comments: I agree with this solution! Also, I have learned that when a whole class is causing the issue, it may be best to start with the ringleader and give them a consequence and so on... then the others will slowly calm down.

Comments: I agree with the process that is stated above. You should try and keep it in-house, reassess your expectations for the class, then inform parents, then and lastly get the administration involved.

Comments: I think this is a great approach because there should be actual consequences for students who refuse to do work. Especially if another student is starting this protest.
