What do you think the ramifications would be for the foreign teacher?

Too many variables, both in the act of doing something so radical (I assume that by 'permanent', you mean a semester) and in your question.

Give it a whirl and get back to us. In the meantime, enjoy pages of arguments and speculation.

If a Korean prof has ever done it, and the student is truly a problem, you might be able to (precedent + a case). Out of curiosity, what does the student do?

yes in a ps hs. Kid has low self esteem and likes to fight. Biggest in class fight, I've had was 5 kids. And the co-teacher isn't worth his salt. I had him taken out of the class and teach him 1 on 1, after school now.

I'd say it's a tricky situation. It depends on the school and what their policies are. If the student is failing, then it's pretty simple, tell them they won't pass. At that point showing up to class is an act of futility. Most universities have a policy if they miss a certain number of classes then they will fail automatically.

The OP needs to be a little more specific why it would be necessary to ban the student.

I've done it. Uni student didn't show up to a single class until the midterm and expected to write the exam. An automatic F is given after missing 10 classes, and he had already missed 15. Even if he had excuse slips (only 3 maximum allowed), he still would have had 12 absences at the midterm point; still an automatic F. This was uni policy and was pretty much written in stone--no Fs were ever overturned due to absences unless the students were in the hospital the entire time. I didn't let him write the midterm, kicked him out, and told him not to come back because he already had an F. He tried coming in to my class again for the final and didn't succeed then either.

Why not let him write the test and just chuck it in the bin afterwards?
