Problem students

[Budderfly]

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your comments.

We want to help our students and improve their lives using martial artials as a vessel.

Sasori... no worries, I didn't take it personally. But I understand what you are saying.

I guess the best thing is to sit down and talk with him first, let him know our expectations and tell him how HE can improve his class experience. Then if he still wants to join the class, we'll keep a closer eye on him and if anything is out of line, we'll take him aside and tell him.

We don't want to publically humiliate him (which is why we'll take him aside), but we will publically praise him if he is doing something good. Positive reinforcement works best in most cases and hopefully it'll give him a paradigm shift and focus his energy to benefit the class rather than himself.
