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 remind the students of the classroom rules and expectation and start reminding and if needed giving out the appropriate and fair consciences to these rules and disruptions. It could also be useful to move students around and change classroom dynamics a bit. You need to remind students that the teacher is the authority in class not the singular student.
