"Deal with" are pretty strong words for anyone, especially in a student/teacher relationship.

If you are having a difference of opinion as to what constitutes these violations, have some courage of your convictions and discuss your concerns with this person who I will presume is doing you a favor by teaching you for gratis.

That is unless you feel honesty is for suckers and Machiavellian tactics are a safer means to achieve your ends.

Remember character does count. Not with many these days, but it does count.
