Ikkyu student that's a "weiner"

It occurs to me, the other thing you can do is just test him. Walk up and hand him the shodan requirements, and say "You're testing in four months." and walk away before he can object. Get some reasonably senior student to talk to him or something if he wants to panic about it. Someone who can offer advice but obviously can't do a damn thing to change your mind or anything else. He'll either pull it off, or flee. Both are in a way a win for you.

Personally I'd speak with the student to learn what their issues are, you may want to have your head instructor there as well. Or go through that person, if they are afraid to speak with you present.

I agree sit down and have a discussion with him on this issue. Make sure the school owner is present.
