Unless the points here were all for your Number One Pet Hate, there just may be a future for this student in your studio after all. Hopefully though there is a nice list of positives that can offset what's been driving you crazy...but if there's not, then do yourself a favour and cut them loose.

Not a half hour any music teacher would look forward to—plenty of reasons here to consider winding things up.

The money you earn from this student will end up going straight into a therapist's pocket if things continue as they are. Time to start planning the "it's time for a break" speech, or someone's going to eventually discover you sitting in a corner, sucking your thumb, mumbling the student's name over and over...

Students like these were used to extract confessions from music teachers during the Inquisition. Obviously you had sinned grieviously in a former life to have this inflicted upon you each week...but really, why are you doing this to yourself? Go make the call, and reclaim that slice of your life.
