This is the horrifying moment a 15-year-old high school student punched a teacher in the head while demanding to get his cell phone.

Footage circulating Twitter shows the student standing intimidatingly close to the shorter educator repeatedly asking for his '******* phone' before swinging his fist into the teacher's face.

Lamar High School in Houston sent a letter to families with principal Rita Graves saying that this type of behavior won't be tolerated and that administrators were looking at ways to prevent this happening again.

Neither student or teacher have been publicly identified at this time.

In the clip a student repeatedly says 'give me my ******* phone back' the teacher calmly asking the student to 'sit down.'

'Give me my phone,' the student his heard saying yet again and appearing exasperated.

The student is then seen leaning back and punching the teacher square in the face as a bystander who is out of frame screams in disbelief.

The person filming is seen quickly ending the recording as the savage attack takes place.

DailyMail.com has contacted students, parents and Lamar High School's principal Graves for comment.

Speaking to KHOU 11 Texas branch of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the second largest teacher's labor union in America, said the kid has made a 'huge mistake.'

Being a punk does have its disadvantages for the punk, but advantages for any future victims.

Probably acting like a Sasquatch.

Every class had a bada$$ wannabee in it. Usually had to smoke him out by mid-first week.

The key was bluffing him worse than he was bluffing me and maybe look a little crazy doing it. It took the first year to learn that tactic but, it never failed after that.

That was all before internet "influencers" and their lame challenges.

The teacher had no right to steal/confiscate his phone.

No law supports that.

That statement right there leaves no doubt that these so-called administrators are absolutely USELESS bullsh*t artists who know EXACTLY what needs to be done to prevent this criminal behavior. FREAKING COWARDS!

Not looking but I think it’s someone with a name like William Whitford Smith III and not like L’Shataqua Washington.

America’s best newspaper is British!

It's like living behind the Iron Curtain and relying on Radio Free Europe to get the truth.

My teachers were all “greatest generation.” Many of them were WW2 vets. These are the types of teachers we need now.

OK...How about a lockbox embedded in the floor?

Yes. If you take a student’s phone, then square off with him, you have to be prepared to go all in.

Winners of fights don’t always fight fair. Just because you wouldn’t do something because you thought it wasn’t Marquis of Queensbury, that doesn’t mean the other guy won’t.

the worse standard lowered is that schools have rules about misbehaving or criminal acts...mostly that you let the black students get away with a lot of it all...

instead of calling the cops on trayvon martin when they found stolen jewelry in his backpack, having him arrested and charged, the hs just let it go.....trayvon martin got the go ahead and look what happened..

“Had a sixth grade teacher, Mrs. Bolton (~60 yrs old) who nailed me with a chalk eraser from about 25 feet. Don’t recall what I was doing but I certainly didn’t do it again.”

We had a teacher like that in Junior High. He would slam boys who were acting up against the wall. Today he would be sued.
