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!) This student might be acting out because the work is too easy for her. Talk with the school administrators and see if she may be able to move up. If not work to build community and trust with the student. This will help the student to feel like they are not wasting their time in the classroom because the work is "too easy".
