I feel like talking to management might escalate things too quickly. Maybe we should try to resolve it ourselves first?

I think we practiced a scenario similar to this, and I recall that private conversations are usually more effective than public criticism.

I’m not sure if asking the class for their opinions is the best approach. It could put some people on the spot.

I remember discussing the importance of addressing inappropriate behavior directly, so option A seems like a good choice.

Option E seems a bit too confrontational in my opinion. Criticizing Johnny's behavior publicly could just make the situation worse. I'd start with a private conversation first before considering any more drastic measures.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards option D and getting facility management involved. If this is a recurring issue, it may be best to have Johnny removed from the class to maintain a positive learning environment for everyone else.

I think option A is the way to go. Addressing it privately with Johnny is the most constructive approach to try to resolve this without escalating the situation in front of the whole class.

This seems like a tricky situation. I'd probably go with option A and speak to Johnny privately first to address the issue directly and give him a chance to correct his behavior.

I'm not sure what the best approach is here. Option B of getting feedback from the class could be helpful, but I'm worried that might just embarrass Johnny further. I'll have to think this through carefully.

D is a bit extreme, don't you think? I mean, the guy's probably just trying to be funny, even if he's going about it the wrong way. Maybe a good old-fashioned stern talking-to is all he needs.
