In your student's case, it sounds like the programs get wiped when her stasticy hair touches the processor. Is it reasonably long? You might want to suggest to the parents to get it cut short until her behaviour improves. Or perhaps have it plaited away around to the back. Also some clothing fabrics are more staticy than others, but it sounds like the hair is the problem as you yourself get shocks when you touch her.

She sounds very out of control! Poor you teachers for having to deal with this. I hope she can get help for the behaviour issues soon. Is it a deaf school you work at or a school for multiple special needs?
