HOUSTON - Aldine ISD police say a 16-year-old student at Nimitz High School was so upset with his substitute teacher for taking his phone, he pushed her onto the ground.
The video shows the student, who's described as 6 foot 3 and 325 lbs., standing up and pushing the teacher three times and on the third time the 66-year-old woman fell to the ground.
"We have a school policy that we can't use phones, we can't use phones during the day, so she was right to take his phone. For him to act that way, it isn't worth it," said student Daija Owen.
Police say the teenager was using his phone in class and got physical with the substitute teacher to get it back.
"The substitute teacher confiscated a cell phone from a 16-year-old male student. The student attempted to retrieve his cell phone. He got up and shoved the substitute teacher, shoved her repeatedly and eventually shoved her to the ground," Aldine ISD spokesperson Jason Spencer said.
The student actually walked himself to the principal's office to turn himself in. He was charged with injury to the elderly. His name isn't being released because he is a minor.
The substitute teacher, who is retired full-time teacher, was rushed to the hospital with minor injuries and released a short time later.
There is no word on whether the student will return to class.
Hey, hey, hey, don’t take my phone away......
Well educated and articulane, and insane, are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Great example.
The comments were written by idiots. The person(?) who wrote the teacher might have used the ‘N-word’ must be Magic Johnson or Jessie Jackson. What the F isthat person(?)’s IQ, 1? The other subhuman who wrote he showed rrestraint must be a kindergarten drop out.
Texas needs a Kersey Brigade Too!
You are not allowed to use a cell phone jammer in school. This is a pity, because despite official school rules banning them, the rules are rarely enforced. Teachers feel foolish continuing lessons while nearly every student’s attention is riveted to that plastic toy in their hands. You might as well recite the phone book as much as they are listening. Then they want to know why they fail classes. I also just love when students take unauthorized pictures of their teachers in class to embarrass them, record what they are saying and edit it to get their teacher in trouble, and take pictures of their exams to text them to friends in the classroom.
Well it started out as a mental illness. The way pneumonia starts out as a cold.
Then the parasites moved in.
