I trained as a teacher in 2001 – so not that long ago. During my training we were specifically taught that in modern schools, if more than half of your class was misbehaving, the whole class should be punished. This was to avoid accusations of discrimination and unfairness(!). If you only had a small group misbehaving you could reasonably say that you were sure that they were the only ones misbehaving and so punish them alone – but if it was most of your class, and anybody complained about being unfairly punished (or that somebody else wasn’t punished who deserved to be) there was no way you could say for certain that that wasn’t true (even if you thought you could).
