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 would pull the child aside and ask him what is going on. Why he feels the need to act out in class? I would explain to him that he is not doing himself or any of his classmates any good by behaving that way. I would make it clear that I will not tolerate his behavior and if he continues then I will be reaching out to his parents.
