Am I summarising this right ?
There's an order given by your teacher, some kids break it and will continue breaking it from that point on, some faked cooperation, and the rest of the kids were just silent.
Is this really an organisation, in the sense that one "group" is trying to reach a goal ?
For instance the "fearless" kids don't seem to have anything to care about to me, and don't need to join forces for anything.
Same for the "sycophants" who could be alone or a number of people, it wouldn't change their behaviour.
Or the rest of the kids who could be sleeping, it wouldn't change much for them.
Perhaps to put it in a different way, what was your main takeaway from the situation ? it seems you had more insight that what is conveyed here.
