It is not a decision to be taken lightly and it cannot be made solely by one person. Also, regarding the student input, I believe that students should not judge other students.
I could not agree more. We have always had an open door policy to any students wanting to be on the team. However, this program is not for everybody, and we have had to ask a few to leave. This has been done to keep the team focused and not distracted by the wanderings of some disruptive students. These have never been easy decisions. We believe in giving each student every opportunity to succeed, however, if their actions continue to be a hinderance to the team, then the student will asked to leave by the teacher.
