I don’t know about you, but I certainly have some “entitled students” come into my studio. 

You know the type I mean? Who feel they deserve special treatment that isn’t warranted based on their academic performance. The students who believe their minimal effort should be publicly rewarded, that you are available to them at anytime and that everyday problems should mean extensions and special consideration. 

Well recently, someone shared an article about academic entitlement stemming from the “dark triad” of personality traits. In light of my experience and the mention of a dark triad, this article captured my attention, so I thought it might be fun to spend this week looking at how to handle our most difficult students and see if this article can offer any insights or suggestions.
