Maybe the class knows she's being disrupted, and she needs to be removed from the room.

Nope it is the bystander effect.

The bystander effect is when a group of people see something wrong, however, because there are other people around, they wait for someone else to intervene. This can happen when someone is having a heart attack, people look at everyone else waiting for someone else to step in. This has also happened on trains, someone is being attacked/raped in public, everyone just stands and watched assuming that someone will step in. Seriously, look this term up.

But do you know for a fact that the bystander effect was in place here.  No, you dont.
