  2. Another student says: "the student swung because she was in her face and pressing(?) her" Note that the student is sitting at her desk but the teacher is practically right on top of her. So it was the teacher that moved upon the student. The student didn't get up and go after the sub. I think the teacher was wanting to take the student's phone away and the student was trying to keep it.

  3. "the student swung because she was in her face and pressing(?) her" The student was seated at her desk, while the teacher had approached her and was practically on top of her. The student could have been putting up her arm to defend against the teacher grabbing or hitting her. The teacher was coming at her very aggressively. I heard it was over a phone - that the substitute teacher was demanding the student's phone but the student was trying to prevent her from grabbing it.

  4.  @mikayoi5138  Can you give the names and exact quotes of the people in the class? Other reports say the teacher admonished the whole class for being loud, but they didn't quiet down soon enough so she cussed them. That's when the one girl said something like "You can't talk to us like that" which made the teacher mad. This teacher was also involved in a bullying incident with a 12-year-old a couple months before. She threw away his snack & called him a crybaby when he started crying. She further has a report for domestic violence on a child from back in 2014 when she lived in Baltimore, Maryland. She seems unable to handle children without getting abusive, angry and violent.

  6. Maybe if you were a better student, you would have learned to write coherently.

  7. But this student here was seated at her desk - it was the sub that had come to her and was practically on top of her.

  8. Substitute teachers should not qualify - only full-time teachers with a few years of consistent and competent work under their belts.

  10. Yes and the student was sitting at her desk. It wasn't she who moved toward the teacher, it was the teacher who approached her in an aggressive manner.

  11.  @g4teen  I don't think the black teen should have gone to jail: he should be given good counseling and workshops on maintaining self-control and avoidance of hitting females. Then he should get help with job placement and training. People like him deserve a second chance due to age and the fact that some extra tools to control behavior could make a big difference for him in his life. Why don't you write the correction institute and the teen himself and propose counseling and workshops instead of jail.

  12. Well substitute teachers should be excluded as they usually are not as qualified and self-disciplined as regular teachers.

  13.  Woodrow Pride  You're right - they prefer to fire guns on the streets of Chicago every day.

  14. "the student swung because she was in her face and pressing(?) her" That's the quote of another student in the video. The student is seated at her desk - she didn't approach the teacher. The teacher moved on her and was practically on top of her. And if "pressing" was the right word her used then it sounds like the sub had been putting her hands or body parts against the student already. I think the student could have also swung defensively by judging the sub's stance and thinking the sub was already poised to hit her or grab at her. I've read that it was over the student's phone - that the sub was trying to take it away from her.
