  Case: Gifted with bad behavior
When I was interning in a fifth-grade classroom, there was a girl that was considered gifted. She was very intelligent and her work definitely showed for it. However, she was very disrespectful and disobedient. What could the teacher do to deal with this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Sometimes misbehavior in gifted students can come from boredom in the classroom. Perhaps this student needs to be challenged more in their classwork. Or, as others have mentioned, something may be going on at home that is causing her to act this way. I would try to identify the root of the problem, and work with the student to develop a behavior plan that is motivating for her.

Comments: Yes, she could be bored. However, being in a gifted classroom is a reward, maybe let her know that it is a privilege and she needs to behave. If the talk with her doesn't work then try to talk to the parents like you said.

Comments: Discussing with the student why they are misbehaving is the best plan. If you notice its because of boredom extra work can be given or you can have the student go around and help other students with their work. If it is an issue other than boredom it can be addressed properly
