Unless he's got a behavioral disability (such as being on the autism spectrum), which should be explained to the woman, that behavior seems pretty inappropriate and more than that woman signed up for. If he does have a behavioral disability, then no one person should have to deal with that unless said person is trained. My husband had a miserable semester one year when he was paired with a pyromaniac. Not enough to get him to drop out the program but enough to push him well beyond the bounds of having a positive attitude towards the class.<br /><br />Perhaps next year you can assign students to groups and rotate them each day. Do it by randomly choosing numbers.

They should be able to work together better. I think you were right in what you did. The only thing I would have possibly done differently would be to talk to Stu about being more cognizant of how his actions effect others (e.g. he should have asked for the paper towels and alcohol himself). <br /><br />Good luck with the rest of your term.Barefoot Doctoralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03116876526923906034noreply@blogger.com
