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 had this same problem, gifted students typically do have behavior problems because they are bored or they are told that they are gifted and they believe they do not have to do the same things as their peers. I would try to find ways to keep the children academically challenged to make sure they are not bored and I would also find an incentive that works for that child (i.e sticker, treasure box at the end of the week, etc).                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree, my initial reaction to this post was that the students is probably bored and acting out.
