I have a student that has multiple family issues, a terrible outlook on life, tries to intimidate everyone in class. I have had to throw her out of class twice and recently she was removed from my class permanently and has to repeat the class next semester. I tried doing a few things listed in this module by having her write down why she was angry and she wrote down nothing that had to do with the class or myself. What else could I have done with this girl ?

When I read this suggestion I thought wow I am going to try it tomorrow and for the rest of the module. I have a couple students that this might really work for.

I strongly believe that all instructors should have a base of classroom policies and everyone should be made to follow them. I have found that if I am strict about the dress code and flip flops being worn, students seem to retaliate by saying that other instructors do not make them do it. I feel like "the bad one" when I enforce the school policy and send students home to correct the dress code.
