I am not up on the latest electronic gadgets, but to be sure, there is something they could do electronically.....perhaps put a camera in the classroom where this kid can do her work at home on the computer yet she would still be particpating in class. Course, that would be a SIMPLE solution!

If I had a kid in that school, I would be pushing for home schooling ONE child rather than create chaos for every one else in the school.

My son had a Jehovah Witness girl in his class from kindergarten through 5th grade. No parties allowed. One child ruined holidays for the other 17. This girl was also very bright but bored and disruptive. All the other kids disliked her immensely.
In 2nd grade a very young teacher decided to make this little girl’s table mates responsible for her behavior. If this girl misbehaved they all lost recess. I had a fit. I went to see the teacher and told her she was making a BIG mistake. If this girl couldn’t or wouldn’t control herself why did the teacher think other 2nd graders could control her? Punishing them would not advance classroom cohesiveness because they already disliked her and would like her less when they were forced to share her punishment for things they did not do. (Geesh, I don’t know what they teach in education classes, but that was a no brainer to me.) I also firmly told her that my son was to have recess unless he personally misbehaved. In our family we believed in personal responsibility and he was responsible for himself not any other child nor was any other child responsible for him. I won that debate!
