    Yeah, that’s how we do college here too. If a student wants to fuck around and fail, that’s on them. Throwing people out who aren’t disruptive is weird

      Depends on what you consider disruptive. Are they breaking into groups and expected to complete a project based on that prep work? Whatever group gets saddled with them is now poorer for it as compared to ejecting them from the class and grouping only people who put in the work to be present and ready. The in between here would be putting them all in the same useless kids table group, but that somehow seems more demeaning.

          Like I said that’s almost more demeaning than being kicked out of class. And I was just spit balling one possible way it could be disruptive. Maybe the class plan was not so easily sequestered, I don’t know. Either way, there’s arguably some value to being strict on this educationally too. It shows that not everyone is going to put up with you showing up uninformed and unprepared. Is it the professors job to teach that? Arguably no, but it is her class, and if in the syllabus she stipulated that you have to show up prepared or be asked to leave then let this be a lesson in reading the contract and taking it seriously.
