@ellythomas :i have seen and delt with "adults" who just don't seem to get it. They have paid to be there, and so have other students. It seems like there is more drama and less respect in some, not all, of the technical colleges. As i shadowed and observed this instructor, she clearly did not want to deal with the problem students. It all depends on the college. Rules, regulations and consequences do need to be clearly stated before admission and on the first day.
