Substitute teacher retaliates after student threw chair at him
A
Dallas
substitute teacher was left bleeding and in need of medical assistance
after a student from the rea middle school flung a chair at him on
Wednesday, March 9. The chair hit the teacher’s head and he started
bleeding. The teacher also responded by throwing two chairs at the
student but not nearly as fiercely as the student before he went back to
his desk and wiped the blood from his head.
The incident was
recorded from different angles by students and soon went viral.
According to the police the chair fight occurred at DeSoto West
Middle School. In some videos, only the male teacher is seen throwing the chairs at the student amid the chaos in the classroom but the
school district official confirmed that the student attacked the teacher first.
The video of the incident revealed the chaos that ensued during the
chair fight. In one of the videos, the teacher is seen rifling to get a
chair mumbling “what the hell” before throwing them at the student. At
the end of the video after the teacher sat down at his chair and is seen
wiping the blood off his face a student is heard saying “this shit is
not funny”. The reason for the fight is yet to be revealed.
A DeSoto ISD representative also told WFAA that students attacked the
educator first. Later, the paramedics were called to the scene as the
teacher’s injury required medical assistance. The police said the
district official refused to comment further regarding what caused the
incident or whether students will be punished.
Following the
incident, DeSoto Independent School District canceled all the classes on
Friday, March 11 and sent the students on spring break early. Craig
Miller, the school’s safety consultant, and former Dallas ISD chief told
KDFW "[The student will] face serious assault charges based upon the
angle that I saw in the video. It could very well be an aggravated
assault, which also then could be enhanced, possibly because it happened
to an educator in a school environment," he said to the station adding
that legal action will likely be taken in the incident.
According
to KDFW school staff was asked to come on Friday, March 11, to review
district policies that instructed them to monitor student hallways and
common areas. Additionally, students won’t be allowed to use cell
phones, earbuds/headphones during the school day. Further, the station
also mandated safety and security meeting with parents on each campus.

Rapper Cardi B said “Disgusting, this generation is really lost.”
Rapper Cardi B has slammed students of a Texas middle school who were seen in a viral video hitting a sub teacher with a metal chair.
She posted a tweet on March 10 replying to the video from DeSoto West
Middle School in which students appear to be hitting the substitute
teacher with a chair and wounding him on the forehead.
Following the bloody assault, the teacher was spotted throwing two chairs at the screaming pupils in the unsettling clip from the school located in the Dallas suburbs. The sub then wipes off blood from his head and sits down on the desk.
The rapper wrote in her tweet,
“Disgusting this generation is really lost … I went to school wit a lot
of gangstas and no matter what they never put their hands on a teacher
…Kids this is not respected,not cool,not funny,not tough,not gangsta
….it’s giving y’all pussy.”
CBS 11 reports that classes were postponed on Friday, 11 March, after
the horrible incident at DeSoto West Middle School on March 9.
Following the incident, the teachers had a meeting to discuss changes in
campus safety protocols as they return back to work. Bans were imposed
on students using cell phones or headphones in the classroom. The
changes will be functional after the forthcoming spring break; the
school is also planning to expand its corridor monitoring.
“DeSoto ISD is intent on re-establishing a culture and climate that
emphasizes safety, security, and educational excellence,” the school
district stated in a news release.
Following the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the nation
is facing a massive wave of retirements and quitting, which has been
furtrher exacerbated by stagnant wages and burnout.
The Texas Tribune stated that in the forthcoming week, Texas Governor
Greg Abbott has directed the Texas Education Agency to form a task
force to examine the state's situation of faculty shortage.
According to the same paper, school districts reported a surge in
teacher vacancies last summer, with the Houston Independent School
District — the state's largest — having more than 700 vacancies.

Public education is on a downhill slope. It can't be fixed. It can be eliminated and started over from scratch. First, fire all the Attorneys. Second, Eliminate the Department of Education. Third, Put states in charge of their own education programs, period.
