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!) I would challenge the student with more work and slightly difficult work. If the assignments are too easy she could be bored and not willing to listen. Give positive rewards for good behavior and have consequences for the negative behavior.
