Idea: 'Remove Student' button

Submitted By:

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 would mean that, if a disruptive or persistent no-show student enrolled for a class, the teacher would be able to remove them from their 'seat' in advance of the class to free space for a more reliable student. I give this idea 5 stars.

You also have my 5 stars! Having this ability would allow teachers to optimize both their teaching and their serious students' learning... It would be beneficial for everyone!

But is every student who signs up but doesn't show up a "disruptive" student? It's just the law of averages. Not everyone who signs up will turn up - for a million different reasons.

If they can't show then they can at least get in touch with the teacher... They will have to pay anyway.. It's the disruptive students that i feel the teacher should be able to block... If their questions or antics interrupt the flow of the class then the teacher should be able to block or remove them!
