So, what do you do when you have a student that will not read the book, will not do the homework assignments, and argues that he know better then the teacher? That when you try to correct his mistakes, he calls you names?

In a prison workshop class, you get sent back to your dorm until the
next class starts in 3-4 months ...if you're lucky, plus swabbing
toilets during that period at 40 cents a day. The other alternative is
the "Hole". The "Hole" is usually air-conditioned and you get a measure
of privacy, so the former is usually the rule. The major drawback to the
"Hole" is the isolationism and being confined to a 6X8 box 23 hours a
day. Attitudes do get checked though, you betcha.
Either is not nice. It pays to pay attention and to try hard, in class.
Or, don't go at all. Teaching prison classes is a breeze, when the
student is properly "motivated", just as it is outside the razor wire.
But, the teacher inside has a little more "clout". <eg> Ric

So what happens when the teacher really doesn't know any more than the student - or decides it is more fun to taunt than to teach? I'd expect both cases to be pretty common.
