This sounds like you've got bigger problems than the assignments then... she's not just tuning out the teacher, she's tuning out school altogether.
I think drastic changes are in order.
This is the only class she has any issue in at all - all her other grades are A's and none of her teachers (including the one I'm worried about) have told us about any issues going on at all. I had to contact this teacher when DD had a C on her mid-term grade card to ask what was going on because I was dumbfounded. The teacher hadn't even contacted us about DD's drop from an A to a C in 2 weeks time - maybe she wasn't concerned but I know we sure were.
