How To Deal With Impolite Students? (All Teachers)
Hi everyone. Just got a question for you all really as I’ve not had experience of this before! I have a student who is having singing lessons as part of his Duke of Edinburgh award. His attendance is good and everything but he is consistently rude in the lessons. By rude I mean bad manners really – yawning with his mouth wide open, treating the room like his own house, leaving litter…and every week he uses the bathroom multiple times, and my Mum has complained that after he has been in there it’s not um, clean! 🙁
What should I do? I’ve not been told of any medical issues as I’m a bit concerned about the whole toilet thing as he spends more time in there than singing…. I’m not sure how to approach it with him or should I ring his parents and discuss it with them? It’s making me really dread his lessons every week 🙁 -

Ughhh I hate situations like this!! How old his he!!?? If he’s older then 13 he should know better!!! I have a student who’s basically stalking me at the moment and it’s getting concerning!!! Having like 4 lessons a week and I’m not sure it’s for the right reason!!!!!!

Thank you🙂 He is 21 so should really know better! At first I thought he could perhaps have some form of autism as he can seem quite withdrawn but I just found out he has recently done a lot of difficult exams so I don’t know! It is a horrible situation🙁
