Fighting a grade

Does anyone have students who still continue to fight their grade despite a detailed organized rubric? For example I once had a student fight with me that they got a A-. I had marked them lower on the student participation area of the rubric. They were supposed to deliver a lesson plan and engage students in the process. Her response was that it was "ridiculous" that I would expect her to be responsible for other students being engaged in her presentation/lesson. Furthermore when it was her turn to listen to others and engage in their lesson plan she continued to chat with her friends and look at her laptop instead. If my students aren't engaged in my classroom online or face to face I take it that I need to revise my content/curriculum because they cannot learn if they are not engaged.
