I see your point but maybe I should clarify on one point, the teacher should answer all questions but not necesarrily in the same class period and thus meaning that he should write down the questions asked to him and try to answer them as the asker might ask the question again and thus lower the reputation of the teacher. And yes he should talk to the whiz kids first but hopefully there shall be only one as whiz kids get more arrogant in front of other whiz kids (speaking from personal experience ;) . Also you should tell the teacher to pick up little tricks of the trade that might impress the whiz kids and thus bringing them onto his side.
