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!)
As frightening as it may seem, I think your best bet is to take this issue up directly with the student. After fairly reviewing the explicit expectations you have, if they choose not to participate, give them the consequence. Think ahead so that your consequence is effective. For example, if that child's parents do not care about their education, don't have a phone call home be the consequence. Or, if that child is friends with the teacher who runs lunch detention, do not make that the consequence. Choose a consequence that will- morally and ethically- sting a little. Once you have made it clear that you are the highest authority in your classroom, the other students should follow suite! |

| Comments: This method is too top down and this only makes the student resent you. Furthermore if your approach is to simply use your authority to crush all dissent then maybe your students are right to listen to another student instead of listening to you. Just a thought |
