Cellphone video caught the
moment a Louisiana high school teacher was punched in the face and knocked to
the floor as she tried to break up a fight between two 15-year-old males last
week, NOLA.com reported.
What are the details?
The fight occurred just before
2:30 p.m. last Friday in a Chalmette High School classroom, the St. Bernard
Parish sheriff's office told the outlet. Chalmette is about 25 minutes east of
New Orleans.
Video shows the teacher
yelling at the students to stop fighting and attempting to grab the students.
At one point she gets between the students, and then at least one punches her
in the face; the other makes a punching motion at the teacher at nearly the
same time. She then grabs her face and falls down:

School resource officers responded to the incident and took the two students into custody, NOLA.com reported.
Both of them were booked on a
charge of battery of a schoolteacher, the outlet said.
The sheriff's office didn't
identify the students because they are juveniles, NOLA.com said, adding that authorities
didn't say what sparked the fight.
What happened to the
teacher?
Doris Voitier — superintendent
of St. Bernard Parish Public Schools — told WVUE-TV that the teacher, who asked to not be
identified, suffered bruises. While students in the video yell, "You broke
her nose!" Voitier told WVUE the teacher's nose was not broken.
”I told [the teacher] to take
some time and make sure she gets fully healed before she comes back,” Voitier
noted to station.
The superintendent also told
WVUE that "when I saw the video, I was appalled; our teacher shouldn’t be
involved in an environment like that, and our students should have ways to
settle their differences."
Voitier added to WWL-TV that students are having "much more
difficulty in settling differences and talking through problems" and that
"we're seeing that portrayed not only within our schools but the community
at large. So we need more support for the students, for the families, and for
the community."
WVUE reported that the teacher
getting punched was the second major incident at the high school in the space
of a week; on Sept. 12, a former student was arrested after school hours for
allegedly pulling a gun during a fight on campus.
