Ruth has observed the teacher's aide frequently demeaning some of the students in the class. The lead teacher is not aware of the teacher aide's behavior. What would be the next best way for Ruth to exercise courageous followership?

Unite all the students to retaliate against the teacher's aide

Go by herself or with another stident to talk to the lead teacher and mention the poor behavior she has seen in the teacher's aide

Talk immediately with the administrator over the lead teacher and recommend that the lead teacher and teacher's aide be dismissed

$$ Let the situation work itself out over time
