MAYWOOD (CBSLA) — A teacher was arrested Friday after a violent confrontation with a student inside a classroom.
Video of the incident at Maywood Academy High School shows the teacher swinging at the student following an alleged dispute over the uniform the student was wearing.
Police and school district officials had not identified the teacher at the time of this report.
Parents want answers.

Time were different - Mr. Hooper kept his job and the hood never acted up in school again that I was aware of...
What causes you to disregard the part about hitting the teacher with a basketball?
I really think we should have someone hitting blueyon with a basketball. It would be funny, and there is surely zero grounds to get hostile over something that funny.
Right
Wow you should be ashamed of yourself. Threatening me like that!.......as of last night when I posted this NO baseball bat was EVER mentioned in article. If the kid hit the teacher with bat (big if) kick him out of classroom............the teacher still should not of repeatedly gone at kid. Praying for you and those near you that God softens your heart. For you to say what you did to me over a posted article...God help you if you ever faced someone in person who you disagreed with
You sound like Ralphie in The Christmas story.......when he snapped well at least that is what I thought of as I read your post
I am not ashamed of myself in any way.
You seem to have a problem with being held to the exact same standard to which you have held the teacher.
Too bad.
Old enough to remember taking my swats (which I richly deserved) in both elementary and high school without crying about being mistreated.
I would no more have considered attacking one of my teachers than I would have considered swimming to the moon.
It was called “RESPECT FOR YOUR ELDERS”.
Had I taken a shot at one of my teachers I would have expected to get my ass beat; then get thrown out of school forever and sent to what we used to call Juvenile Hall.
Prison for young men and women who were unable get along in a civil society.
Young people today want to vote at the age of 18 but want to be protected by society and the courts as if they are children until they are 21?
That doesn’t work with me.
At the age of 18 I was under arms in the Marine Corps serving my first tour, kids today at 18 are still living in mommy and daddy’s house, collecting all the benefits and contributing nothing in return, then bitching when mommy and daddy wont buy them a new car.
So in answer to your question; yeah, I’m old, old enough to remember the REAL WORLD.
Good for you. Had someone taken a swat atca teacher in my day, they would have been expelled. No one would have gotten their ass beat.
Although I have never seen that.
You certainly make lots of assumptions about 18 year olds. Perhaps those are the kids you know in your area. They certainly do not represent the kids I know. Although my son works full time in his career, he’s here with me at home since I’m a bone marrow transplant patient.
He’s made a sacrifice while I’m trying to get on my feet. In the mean time, he’s saving a lot of money. I hope he uses it to travel and enjoy life. Larger financial sacrifices happen as the years go by.
Personally, I think 18 y/o is too young for kids to be on their own. They need to spend time preparing during these super critical years - college, training, saving, and maturing - so, when they do get out, they are mentally and financially prepared.
Just as you were taken care of so to speak while in the marines. They provided shelter, meals, etc. structure is still needed at 18 years old.
Btw, I do agree this boy belongs in Juvie. The teacher kept his composure as long as possible. Unfortunately tho - he did snap. Perhaps justified, but, it still is not legal. It was not self defense tho. The time for self defense had long gone by and he just lost his cool.
It’s a shame because it sounds like he was a great teacher. Even the students are defending the teacher. But, laws are laws. We don’t get to pick and chose who they get applied to.

Teacher kept his cool at first. You see him calmly get his cell phone and seemingly call for assistance.
By 1:36 he snaps. Security is trying to pull him away from the kid toward the end.
He shouldn’t have hit the student - not in these days. Back in my day (and his day), the student would’ve been expelled, and the teacher would’ve kept his job. (In the 70’s, I saw our Catholic sister deal out the same kind of punishment, and that kid didn’t dare hit her back.)
But, today, we know you cannot do that. Anyway, the moral of the story here is, hey, kids, don’t mess with the nice guy.
Give him a raise.
Bullshit, give him a raise.
Yea I posted it at 38 as well. Those were my same observations.
Ah. Yeah, I see your comments above now. Thanks.
Btw, I hope you’re doing well! Blessings...
Please keep me in your prayers. It’s been difficult.
Will do. Sending you a FReepmail in a moment...
