Gifted student is asking upwards of 30 questions before the first learning activity is done. Entire class is being derailed as I have to redirect him. Advice?

Hi all. I teach 6th grade and I’ve recently had an issue with one of my students. We’ll call him “Jake.” Well, Jake is very smart, genuinely he breezes through everything in 5 min and it’s all correct. Unfortunately he then gets restless and begins to ask countless questions, to the point where the entire lesson gets derailed. Last Thursday he asked 37 questions before we were even 20 min in. I teach in a private school so I eventually just told him to leave, but I can’t keep doing this routine with him. Sent an email to his mother and she’s irate that I’m “hurting his curiosity.” Lady, I can’t even get through a fucking lesson due to his curiosity! Any and all advice would be helpful as it’s my second year teaching submitted by /u/Legatus_Aemilianus [link] [comments]
