A 24-year-old substitute teacher in Texas was arrested after she was caught on camera encouraging students to fight inside her classroom, authorities said Monday.
Natally Garcia is facing four counts of endangering a child after investigators reviewed video of the alleged incident at Kimbrough Middle School in Mesquite, Texas, on April 12 and determined that she put four students in danger of bodily injury, the Mesquite Police Department said.
Garcia allegedly made rules and space for the 12 and 13-year-olds to fight in the classroom while telling other students to guard the door, FOX4 Dallas-Fort Worth reported.

Betty Martinez, the mother of a student who she says was frightened and secretly recorded the fight, told the outlet that she was in "utter disbelief" after seeing the video.
"I thought it was a joke," she said. "I didn’t think it was real. My brain couldn’t comprehend what was going on, right?"

Meanwhile, Martinez said other students have threatened her daughter for recording video of the fights.

Somebody broke the first rule of Fight Club.
I used to have my high school English boys class stand in two opposing sides with lists of Shakespearean insults and hurl them.
Yo dog faced cur!
They seemed to like that
That’s not the same thing.
I knew a second grade teacher that stopped kids calling other morons by reading the definition of a moron as someone with the intellect of a nine year old. Since they were seven he said that calling each other a moron was a compliment.
He then made some dunce caps and started a Moron Club for kids that did work exceeding grade level. I the kids above grade level got to wear the hat.
It was pretty funny.
Just insanity
alec baldwin shot 2 people and killed one, and charges were dropped- (I don’;t think he ever got arrested did he?)
This woman didn’t kill anyone- but was arrested- She will likely do some time, and rightfully so for being a moron- but just pointing out how freakin lopsided justice is in the US now- BOTH shoudl be doing time, but because one is a rich actor- charges have been dropped for homicide and wounding another person
What the hell is going on with the teaching profession these days?
We use to call it boxing and wrestling
