Oh, and what was I supposed to do? Tell him he can't take the course? He's good at it, too, now that his English is better. Has a genuine talent for the subject and all that.

I mean, the most I can hope for is that his behavior in the classroom gets bad enough that I'm justified in kicking him out on his sorry little ass until he promises to behave. He's certainly not about to listen to reason on that subject. Or anything else. Ever. At least not when it's coming from me.
