BAD GRADES LEAD FLORIDA MOM TO ASSAULT TEACHER IN CLASSROOM IN FRONT OF 20 STUDENTS

Unhappy with daughter’s grades, Ruth Nathalie Perkins entered a temporary classroom, cursed the teacher in Spanish, threatened to kill her and scratched her face before two students pulled her off the victim

I’ll bet that in those worthless college teacher education courses, the professors never warned this teacher and her fellow teacher wannabees they might get the shit kicked out of them by an angry parent and how to handle such a situation should it ever occur.

A 42-year-old mother has been accused of beating up and threatening to kill her daughter's chemistry teacher over bad grades.

Ruth Nathalie Perkins has been charged after allegedly attacking Elvira Tomlin as she taught about 20 students after hours at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, Florida on Thursday.

Perkins stormed into the portable classroom and began cursing at Tomlin in Spanish, even threatening to murder her, according to the arrest affidavit.

When Tomlin tried to call for help, Perkins allegedly knocked her phone off the desk and slapped her cell phone out of her hand.

Click Orlando reported Tomlin told Perkins to leave the room, but she refused.

Perkins then knocked Tomlin's glasses off her face and pushed her against a wall, scratching her face as Tomlin tried to push her away.

Two students were forced to pull Perkins off of the teacher and she left the classroom, according to the affidavit.

Perkins was allegedly furious at the grades Tomlin had given her daughter.

Perkins was later arrested in the school's parking lot.

An Orange County Public Schools spokeswoman said parents are not required to sign in at the front office before going to their child's classroom after school hours.

Click Orlando reported Tomlin wasn't seriously injured but her face was scratched near her left eye and her face was red, according to officials.

'I am shocked and saddened by the parent's actions,' Tomlin told Click Orlando.

'I feel bad for the students that witnessed the incident and were upset by it. I want to thank all of those that gave me their support during this difficult time.'

Perkins was held on $10,000 bail, but has since bonded out of the Orange County Jail, Sun Sentinel reported.

She has been charged with aggravated battery on a public or private education employee.
