It's really hard to control or conquer a group that consists of leaders, than a group with few leaders and lots of followers or a group with all followers.
In high school, the teachers didn't like the class that I was in. Most high school teachers are authoritarian by nature. In the situation of my high school class, there was no way for the teachers to control the class. We didn't exactly have a leader. Everyone seemed to lead on various things, and also followed on other various things. We were so dangerous that we got the rule book changed several times due to unfairness standards. For an example, a teacher would give detention for not having the top button button on the button down uniform shirt. There was no requirement in rules for this. So, our class made some clarity in the rules and added a polo shirt as well. Number of unneeded detentions went down considerably.
