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!) I think I would have a conversation with that student. Explain that they are a natural leader and the importance of being a positive influence to those who look to him.
