    cookie78 replied to jschut's topic in General Students

    Truthfully in my case inparticular it isn't matter of one intervention...when we talk to this girl outside of class she is fully aware of what she is doing, just about all of us have mentioned it to her to her face and otherwise. When we mention it ...
