In this chapter, we discovered that group domination hurts the group as a whole. There should be no one person talking and leading.
On page 93, Tiffany explains the tension between working in a group with a boyfriend/girlfriend. They were the leaders and the rest of the group then shied away from speaking. We, as teachers, have to let everyone have a voice and this may cause us to separate friends, relationships and enemies. It seems like a daunting task to separate everyone, but I suppose in getting the best out of the group we must all work together and not dominate. Who learns when they never get the chance to speak?
