One question I have is how do you smoothly remove a student from a small group without getting parents up in arms and that student up in arms? We have a situation in one of our SGs that is out of hand. The SG leader does a good job trying to minimalize the impact but this student just eats up attention and drives away students. Any suggestions? great post Josh. One question I have is how do you smoothly remove a student from a small group without getting parents up in arms and that student up in arms?

We make it clear before small groups that this offense takes one occurrence to get them removed. I hate to do it but the cost to the group is too high when this happens.
