The fact he does this knowing that he could be in extreme trouble at any time is saddening. This attitude has came from him time and time and time again and he just doesn't care. He gets caught, he tells a sob story and acts all sad that he's in trouble (to think he will get out of it) and the more he gets in trouble, the worse he gets. He has blatantly player dissed, sometimes to such a degree he should have been banned for a temp amount of time due to the extremity behind it. He has blatantly broke rules for his own benefit and ignores ANY higher ups that he has in a department unless it is someone he likes and even then he goes behind their backs.
Even further, he takes advantage of smaller things and tries to twist it. This video is a perfect example of that. I understand Nicholas isn't the best player but this is just extreme even by my standards. Also, lets not even begin to talk about how he handles sits. I think personally, he needs a form of punishment that will last for a while. Permanent? I wouldn't say that. But, a couple of months? I can understand that much.
Just have him removed from your class. It sucks you have to pay $10 but if he is causing that many issues, I would rather be safe than sorry.
