An elderly substitute teacher at a Texas middle school was left with a bloody face after a student threw a chair at him - and then retaliated by throwing two chairs back at the teenager.
A video circulating on social media from last week showed the fight in a classroom at DeSoto West Middle School, between the student and Larry Brumfield, 73, who was struck in the head, in front of a group of students. It is said to have erupted after the boy, who hasn't been named, refused to leave a classroom that he should not have been in.
'Damn!' one student yelled in shock after Brumfield felt the hit, the video shows.
The substitute teacher then could be seen lifting two chairs before hurling them back towards the student, who was not even enrolled in the class, as other students were stunned by what they were seeing.
Brumfield added that the fight broke out after the teen perpetrator refused to leave the classroom, KXAS reported, with the teacher and student then hurling foul-mouthed insults at one another.
'Fortunately I saw it out of my peripheral vision,' Brumfield said of the chair that struck him. 'It hit my leg. My leg and my head. It didn't hurt as much but I felt the blood on my face … I picked it up and threw it back at him.
Other students were shouting and standing on the substitute teacher's desk in the corner of the classroom while the fight broke out, the footage shows. Near the end of the video, some students can even be heard yelling 'Stop!' while Brumfield gets closer to them to get a better angle at throwing the chair at the student.

That poor man is not a teacher, his job is really a prison guard.
An option was to kill the kid in self defense, right?
More like a zookeeper.
Or safari park rangers
He will continue to teach and hurl chairs as needed.
Oh, but we are told to keep our kids in public schools so we can fix them and take them back.
Like that will work.
Another Reason to Homeschool
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Looked like a pretty spry old coot to me.
I would have liked to see him really lay a smackdown on that punk kid.
Urban schools..Zoo’s and the keepers who watch over the animals
Good thing my strapping giant of a son wasn’t in that class.
TJ was an excellent student who was always respectful to teachers. If he had a disagreement with a teacher, he would argue it academically and logically. His teachers learned early on not to push an agenda because he would call them on it immediately and refute them with facts.
He was so good at history and current events, that one first-year teacher was beside herself by Christmas break. She would start her lesson and half the class would swivel in their chairs to see if my son agreed with what she said. Because he was always polite and his facts were always accurate, he never got in trouble.
But assault a teacher with a chair, especially an elderly man?
TJ would have gone viking on his ass. Kid would have been eating through a straw when he was done.
The pupil's in the school's hardly differ from animal's in zoo's.
Regards,
I wonder if this incident would be reported in the same jovial, manner, if a 70 year old, white man would have thrown a couple of desks at them.
I notice a distinct lack of diversity in that class.
Amish?
Your kid sounds amazing!
Kudos!
Animals all
This is why you homeschooling if you can. If I were the teacher, that kid threatened my life and would be dropped by a rapidly traveling device, not a chair. I wouldn’t step foot in a school unarmed today.
DeSoto, TX. Yep … that’s accurate.
