A Gwinnett County School District English teacher suffered a violent attack from one of his students, according to reports and video footage.
A student at Discovery High School in Lawrenceville, Georgia, was recorded hitting his teacher multiple times on school property Tuesday, according to cellphone video footage shared with WSB-TV2.
The video depicts what seems to be the high school student and the teacher engaging in a short discussion before the student is seen striking the teacher repeatedly with his fists. The student continues to beat the English teacher even after one of his blows forces the latter off his feet, as seen in the video footage.
The teacher received help from a separate student, who can be seen in the video tackling the suspected attacker off of the teacher. The recording also captures a separate student claiming the teacher received a bloody mouth in the altercation.
The teacher’s wife spoke anonymously about her husband’s reported beating to WSB-TV2. She said her husband sustained injuries to the head, as well as a bloody mouth and a feeling of dizziness, the outlet reported.
“I don’t think people should have the crap beat out of them when they go to work,” his wife told WSB-TV2. “I just want the students and the teachers to be safe, because my husband signed up to be a teacher. He loves his job.”
The reported attack happened after the teacher spoke to the student’s parents Monday about his poor classroom performance, according to WSB-TV2. The teacher’s wife said she was thankful her husband’s attack wasn’t worse, and called for better safety measures for students and teachers, the outlet continued.
“I just would like better security. And I would like for a student not have to be the one that pulls another student off of my loved one,” she told WSB-TV2.
The Gwinnett County school board recently faced frustrated parents when the district released numbers showing an increase in violent fights within the school system after it relaxed its policies on violence, 11ALIVE reported.
Gwinnett County Schools experienced a 35% increase in fights across its schools from August through October, compared to the same three months in the 2021-22 school year, the outlet reported. The school board’s numbers found that at the end of the first three months of the 2022-23 school year, there have been 638 fights, according to 11ALIVE.
Discovery High School and Gwinnett County Public Schools did not respond to the Daily Caller’s request for comment.
We lived in Norcross in 1980 for a short time, then moved back to Florida......................
Let me guess.
Next stop: Juvenile Incarceration.....................
No need to.............
Norcross proper, or Norcross mailing address? A lot of what used to be (may still be) a Norcross mailing address, but not the city proper, is now the relatively new city of Peachtree Corners.
Great area for a long time, is still pretty good - and the overall changing demographics of the county are going to screw that up.
African is as African does.
A in Phys attack....................

Now, who on earth could have possibly foreseen that?
Didn’t used to be but now it’s a hellhole.
IIRC, it was on Holcomb Bridge Road..................
Almost certainly PTC now.
The teachers wife said anonymously...
Also, the person who was beaten sure looks like a woman. Not a man. Not at all.
In this day and age, women can have wives and men can have husbands.......................Try to keep up, will ya?...........🤦♂️😜
I worked for Tektronix at the time. Right across the street from our apartment building..................
Yep... Unfortunately, you’re correct.
Here for Discovery High School’s academic profile on US News school rankings:
Yep, there are 7,170 better high schools in the nation, and 156 in Georgia alone. What’s sickening, however, is that there are 368 worse public high schools in the state and 16,358 worse ones across the nation.
Btw, the racial makeup of this school is 5.3% White, 50.5% Hispanic, 32.9% Black, 9.5% Asian, and 1.9% 2+ races or Pacific Islander/Native American.
😢😉...........................
You aren’t missing a thing.
I used to live in Peachtree Corners for about 11 years then moved out to lilburn/Lawrenceville area.
