I have three students in one of my classes, who are so passive aggressive, the power plays they try are exhausting. I do not want to write them up for defiance, because if they are sent out of my classroom, they have got exactly what they want. HELP! Any suggestions!

If they try this tactic to delay completing an assignment, I do not respond in kind nor in any way to empower or encourage their behavior. I just point out that "No answer is the same as a wrong answer. You have 10 minutes to complete the quiz." Teens need to know who is in charge. They want to be, and many think they are. There's a reason 10th graders are called "sophomores" -- two words that mean "wise fools."

That's how you earn a 0 for participation in my class, and if you don't do the work, you fail that too... if they are athletes, they will care about failing their class.

It's a big game.

I'm sorry for that. I think it's great that you realize though that sending them out would be a reward.

Thoughts on buying pre-construction homes in markets that are popping and flipping selling them when construction is complete?

My uncle does this (he’s a realtor) and usually gets 2-3x return. Obviously there is huge risk because property prices can change a lot in 1-2 years, but at the same time the upside is hard to ignore.

Anyway I protect myself against the downside risk? (other than loosing my down payment)
