Personal assessment. Keeping the class small enough that I know my students fairly well. Bearing and conduct.How do you determine whether someone has good vs. bad character?
Yeah, it's subjective. And I might be fooled. I'm not looking for a saint and I don't require a criminal history check (I know of one or two clubs that do) -- but if they set me on edge, have poor self control, or just plain give me a hinky feeling... they generally aren't welcome and don't stick around long.
Do you teach people you suspect of being of questionable character?
