Burned at the stake. I don't think a temporary ban would really do much good as they'd probably return after the ban and then continue to do what they did to get banned. Ban them for life might get the message through to not only them but to any others that may try it.

My dad's version of quality father & son time was takings to bars. He would set me up with several dollars in quarters and iced down cokes. He sat at the bar, drank beer upon beer or red draw after red draw, and flirted with anything of the female persuasion. It was some years later when I...

Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp. TV sitcom King of Queens.

RWojo, Golf clap in your honor sir. Well put. We can rule out #4 for sure with this particular student. This student gives out a lot of mixed signals that varies between #1 through #3. Leaning hard toward #3 mostly. Seems (that's a subjective word) to pay attention and listen but often find...

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

For the most part, she is a perfectionist and doesn't understand that it won't come to her overnight. Her overall goal is within the realms of reality, she just wants it now though I've expressed months perhaps years depending on her dedication. She gets in practice as often as she can that...

Definitely could be fear based but as eager as she is to learn, I can't honestly state at the moment. She tends to really throw out a lot of mixed signals. I do think she's trying do too much in her life so I can positively say it's not laziness but will admit that she does get discouraged, as...

Sam, Triple Nines in Elkridge has BCA and APA leagues. I'll warn you now that the tables are just absolute crap. In fact, once I finish this current BCA session, I'm done with the place. However; in Triple Nines favor, they have really cheap table time and a hell of a deal on Saturdays and...

Numbers 2 and 3 are exact fits.

That's a good idea Fran. I've actually encouraged her to watch some you tube vids as well as come over to my apartment and watch some of the streams. She's yet to do either but I'll keep pressing. Little bits of pressure rather than the whole kit and kaboodle at once. May even try to get her...

Scott Lee, Inconsistent is very true in this case. Unteachable might be too strong but I know I haven't quite figured out just how to relate it to her. At first, I thought relating to her would be easy. We started with trying to find her a comfortable stance so I proposed the typical feet at...

Cuesblues, I feel for ya man. Best of luck with yours! Scott, Well she's always been highly competitive from what she tells me. Included in her resume' is that she I also a tri-athlete so it tells me that she has the determination and could be disciplined enough to actually become fairly...

Ridewiththewind, Then by all means; please, please come here to DC and teach her. LOL.

Joe, I do in fact present my real world experiences to her. I do believe that it could come down to a lack of respect. Not for me personally but more along the line of just not respecting the experience when I relate it to her. Bob, Yes. Time to find another path indeed. I have shown her...

Fran, I do agree fully with all that you have mentioned but there is on thing in particular that you mention that just really stands out. I will mention to her that she can keep the hook bridge but it will continue to produce undesirable outcomes and that it will limit what I can teach her...

She is a very analytical type. I am as well. Not putting her resume' out there but she is retired law enforcement, is a published author, avid cyclist who has trained with Lance Armstrong, holds a PhD, Professor, and is also employed the federal gov't. Having law enforcement experience myself...

First, I want to thank everyone for their responses. She does want to get pretty serious with learning to play so yes, I try to approach her with a serious mentality. She's not looking to be a world beater but she really does want to advance to be much better than she is. I've told her that I...

Any instructors here have what I deem as being unteachable students? I've come across 3 classes of people that I just can't seem to get through to. 1: The Uber Computer Professional. 2: Engineers 3: Teachers/Professors. Currently, I have a student that is retired Law Enforcement but is...

Cdryden, When you do make it over to St. Louis, you will not meet a better young man than NBS8 (as I call him on here). Before he moved back there, he was near me in Maryland. We did the league thing and managed to find an occasion or a few to hang out and shoot some around. Enjoy the time...

Sorry. I'm not In Silver Spring. I'm in Laurel. I do enjoy playing 14.1 a little when I can but I'm not very good at it. Mostly still trying to learn it and like you, trying to find a few that do play it. I spend most of my practice time on the tight table at VIP in Catonsville during most...
