Tough spot you're in. One idea is to watch those 3 carefully
and try to step in before she does. Another thing would be to
talk to her ahead of time - something like, boy those guys can
be tough to handle. Maybe I could help out by taking care of
them and you just go on ahead with the class. That will be
less disruptive to the others and give you a chance to move
along with those that are ready.

I've been in both positions. As the teacher, it's hard to stop
and "discipline" when the others are all staring at you waiting
for the next word or two you have to say. As the assistant, I
loved it, because I COULD handle those kids needing extra help
and I had the time to do it, without slowing down the class.

Good luck.
