Slapper

I've been discussing with my manager whether or not we should be allowed to slap our students into becoming better people!

I have one student, a woman in her 30s, who has been coming to introduction classes for 3 months and still claims she cannot understand "the dog is in the street".

We all know that she understands, she knows that we know that she understands...but she has entered into some sort of teenage rebellious stage where she's just too cool for school.

This is where I think a slap in the face would be suitable...for her own sake, obviously!
