An altercation between a substitute teacher and a student at Rocky Mount High School on has prompted an investigation by the police and Nash County Public Schools.
The incident was reportedly over the confiscation of a cell phone
Video footage of the incident shows the student and the teacher arguing before the encounter escalates and becomes physical. The teacher, Xaviera Steele, has been with the school system for approximately a year, and as of Monday afternoon, no charges have been filed.
The policy code notes that “administrators may authorize individual students to use wireless communication devices for personal purposes when there is a reasonable need for such communication.”
Police and the school system are investigating, and no injuries were reported.
I do not condone physical attacks by teachers however teachers have zero defense of correction. so I say parents are most at fault, parents need to set the boundaries for their child when it comes to cell phones/or personal belongings. cell phones should be cut off during class time or school time. If an emergency occurs the school should contact the parent. most children know their parents are negligent in these areas and abuse this
I thought school staff was prohibited from touching the little buggers. It’s simple if the kid abuses the device whatever it may be the cops need to be called to take it from the child and require the parent to appear at the station to collect it. We had that monster kid pummeling that teacher over his game device quite recently but there the teacher denies it all went down like he claims it did.
If it was y’all in that situation I’m pretty sure u would have handled the situation the same way that little girl was very disrespectful walking up on the teacher reaching around her and had the audacity to swing at the teacher that’s crazy and mad disrespectful this generation of kids is out of control and needs some serious guidance no one can say what they would’ve done if they were in that situation
