Those are the teacher's options. The student can also decide to:
1. Realise he made a mistake and leave the class [I've done this at a
Raul Bravo class].
2. Realise he made a mistake, but do the best he can without disturbing the
more advanced students [I've done this at a Gustavo Naveira class].
3. Accept no responsibility and just blame the teacher.
Seems Chris chose to do the latter.
