It will be good to have the ability to remove students who do not show up or who have been disruptive in class.
This is written from the viewpoint of an educator:
Teaching is something that is very different from advertising a product. The driving force behind a teacher committed to his/her job is usually passion. (Usually a teacher works long hours without looking at the clock except for going to classes) And a teacher is usually concern with 2 things, teaching the subject itself, imparting knowledge as well as on the overall conduct of a student. Having the right to remove students who misbehaved in class or who do not show up is how a teacher’s way of exercising his/her role as an educator and also a way to be fair to other students who have been diligently attending lessons and following all instructions you have given. While I do agree that marketing is important to let students know about your presence, my priority will still be fine-tuning my lessons and creating a conducive learning (online) environment for my students. If I do have disruptive students or students who constantly playing a prank by enrolling into numerous classes without showing up, I will definitely hope to have the ‘remove student’ button.

This idea is still being discussed.
