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!) Giving the student positive attention may give them what they are seeking in this case. Just make sure not to be overly indulgent with it.
