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!) My daughter is the same. She is a leader and gifted but can be difficult when not focused or stimulated effectively. Gifted students must remain engaged in the material to maintain focus on the lesson. Offer assignment alternatives or in addition to the normal lesson to occupy the student.
