  Case: Intimidation
There is a group of three students that make other students feel like they can't speak up or they will be made fun of, and other students do not speak up because those three are a constant distraction in class. How can a teacher change that environment so that these three students do not intimidate the rest of the class anymore?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First, if there is not a raising of the hand rule then one should be implemented . You need to be in control of the situation in the classroom. Secondly, once you have control of the situation you then can choose to call upon whomever when a question is posed. Even if nobody but the three raise their hands, you can turn the tables by calling on someone else. If the person you choose is hesitant or does not know the answer, you may call upon someone else besides the three to answer. Someone will know the answer, and you are now diverting the attention from the three students to your direction in teaching. It could take as little as one class session for things to change, and if they do begin to fairly include everyone. If these three students still present themselves as problems in the classroom, then you need to have a talk with them.
