Isolation
Separation of trouble-maker(s) from support group in class. Rebellious, disorderly, digressive
students feed on other students' rebellion and disorderliness. Groupthink is appropriate when
conducive to attentive, deferential behavior, inappropriate when destructive of that behavior. Never
isolate a well-adjusted groupthinker; s/he will only become confused, may even be traumatized out of
appropriate behavior patterns. Treat full-scale problem with authoritotropin, directalis,
obediaflavin bromide, pedagorine, and/or reprobamate tablets; supplement as needed with
ridicule or snubbing. Extreme cases will yield only to the Wangensteen.
