Strawberries makes a very interesting point. We are probably wrong in assuming that every student is aiming for an A. (Or is it really patronizing to suggest that not every student is aiming for an A??)
If the student is otherwise preoccupied and simply wants to get by, and who knows, maybe enjoys your style of teaching and/or the topic then why not take another class? Again, without knowing more about what he does that is annoying, it's hard to say whether these could be the reasons. But perhaps compared to all other possible courses/profs, you are still by far among the preferred lot.
