Bad Students.

Teaching all depends on the attitudes of the students. No manner how clever they are or aren't, if they don't want to be there, you don't want to teach them. I will go out of my way to help the struggling student who is enthusiastic. I would gladly fail the student who is not performing at their potential because of an bad attitude.

But what to do with these unhappy petulant students when you run out of patience with them? You can put them on the spot or tell them to never come back. Unfortunately for our school, the latter option is not feasible because the school does not want to see money walk out the door.

But bad money drives out the good and I think that ultimately it is good business to turf those bad attitude students.
