Mine was the same way. It took me a long (very long) time to realize that fighting back doesn't work. Just be calm and firm and tell her to go somewhere quite 'till she calms down but that you refuse to discuss anything while she's worked up.
And stick to it.
Eventually she'll learn she can't push your buttons and it won't get what she wants.
I bet all her teachers like her, too. Right?
We used to say we had an evil one and a good one, but the evil one only came out at home. It really was like watching the exorcist.
