  Case: Group of three students
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!)
I would have a conference with the students individually, then I would conference with the parents and an administrator. I would also place the students in different locations in the classroom. The locations would be in a way where none of the three students could see each other or entertain each other.

Comments: Couseling the students and taking it to administration is a good soulution, if the rest of the class feels they cannot speak, or be comfortable enough to learn.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this. I think holding conferences with the students and their parents would be effective in this situation. They need to be told that what they are doing is wrong and how it is affecting the other students.

Comments: I feel that having a conference with each student individually is a good idea. This allows you to talk to them one-on-one and express your seriousness. If the problem persists getting the administration involved is, in my opinion, a good solution.

Comments: I do believe this is one thing that should be done! However, it is very easy for kids to be defiant even after a parent-teacher conference. I think another thing that could be done is to make sure the environment in the classroom is not so intimidating. Double check to make sure you are not constantly putting students on the spot, since this will raise the anxiety level in the classroom.
