A Texas English teacher is being investigated after he was filmed beating a student and pinning him violently against a classroom wall.
The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon at Humble High School, which is located just outside of Houston, and left the 10th grade boy in the emergency room with injuries.
Footage showed the teacher slamming the student to the ground and overturning a table, then holding him against a wall as other students tried to pull them apart.
The teacher was placed on leave, and the boy's father, Elvert Bolden, is demanding he be barred from ever teaching again. Bolden said the 'upsetting' fight started because the teacher thought his son was being too loud.
The shocking clip showed the teacher in a purple sweatshirt grappling the student dressed in black.
The student appeared to be escaping from the teacher, who held him by the arm as the pair toppled over a table and sent chairs flying in the classroom scrum.

The other poster suggested that a teacher should request a police officer to deal with an unruly student in a classroom...
A teacher requests a campus security or a police officer to deal with an unruly student...That way, he/she does not have to touch a student...The teacher wants the security officer to physically restrain an unruly student...
Touching a student...Not a good idea for a teacher...Even when breaking up a fight between two students...
Keeping a teaching credential is important for a public school teacher...
This Texas teacher will probably lose his teaching credential...His career in public education is finished...I also do not think that any private school will hire this teacher...
You didnt use my full quote
That will teach the kid to conjugate his verbs correctly..
Yes, I was with LAUSD. I taught kids from Echo Park, then more downtown, and then finally out in South Gate.
