  1. This is where the bullying starts you already know the school isn't going to do anything about the threats she needs to change schools asap

  2. That teacher looks like a kid herself

  3. Im glad im not in my twenties 😂

  4. Was she vetted by this school before she was hired? How does a person like this woman go to college and get a teaching certificate, then turn around and promote physical fights in her classroom?

  5. If she didn’t film this, then we wouldn’t know about it. Just imagine what could be going on today. She is a hero and should never receive death threats. The school needs to reprimand the other students as well.

  6. I do miss virtual classrooms
    Maybe cameras should be allowed in classrooms so parents/Guardians can monitor teachers

  7. Ban her from any job. Shes not in the right state of mind.

  8. That teacher seened the movie Dangerous Minds one 2 many times. Lol

  9. I'm proud of the girl who came forward and did the right thing. Those making death threats and people thinking she should have reminded quiet are the problem with the world. I'm not surprised though people can be horrible and it's sickening.

  10. Kindergarten thunderdome

  11. we just need to pay teachers less. eventually we'll draw the kind of talent to the profession who know how to not get caught.

  12. This makes no sense. None of it.

  13. Too bad she's never going to get another job as a substitute teacher anywhere else in america

  14. KHS there was a sub who let the kids in my class vape and do nothing. Talked about freshman girls to the boys and what he smokes. Told the office and the same sub comes sitting next to me in one of my other classes not soon after. Schools don’t listen to the good students.

  15. It’s not alleged when it’s actually happening 😂 she let those kids fight.

  16. Uh…
    Why fighting?
    Only fighting against crime.
    Not this.

  17. She made a fight club as a substitute teacher. You can’t make this up.

  18. That substitute teacher is trash and she should be arrested and prosecuted! How appaling that she encouraged this behavior!

  19. Independent school is for trouble
    Kids…
    Parents should teach their kids
    Respect others and treat others the
    Same way you want to get treated.🙏
    But the teacher was on the wrong here.

  20. They're not sending their best fatherless Democrats…

  21. Shut down the schools… home school it’s getting ridiculous now! Then… the parents will feel the results of their entitled children who have NO RESPECT

  22. It's the guidance counselor's fault for enrolling the children in Fight Club 101.

  23. better fist than guns but a ring and gloves would be nice

  24. If this happen in New York no one would say anything 😂

  25. unpopular opinion, but this isn't really that bad. Sure, it's an unorthodox teaching method, but maybe it's exactly what these kids needed? Society has become too soft.

  26. I’m glad my grandfather isn’t here anymore… he wouldn’t want to live in all of this craziness that has been coming about. Who gets death threats for doing the RIGHT thing? Well, be proud parents and kids alike. You’ve all become a part of ruining this world. Back in the 90s and 2000s life was so much more free. You could walk down the street and feel “safe”. Kids are out of control and so are most of the adults. Sorry to my kids who will have to grow up in this. This isn’t the life I wanted to bring them into.

  27. It’s like fight club in the classroom

  28. One of my friends is a teacher in TX. She said her students talked a lot in her class while she was talking and seldom respect her. When she gives consequences or reports it to their parents, parents always have excuses for their children and criticize my friend.

  29. Your staff have been vaxed and the teachers r grown in age but mind of a child

  30. The parents of the child who filmed this should SUE the school system.

  31. Hey and they say black 🖤 people are dangerous

  32. Educators without children of their own will never know the challenges we face today as parents. To them, our children are mere pawns to be brainwashed and molded into their warped world views. Keep a close eye on your kids.

  33. Unbelievable, the girl filming and reporting this shouldn’t be getting death threats but then again with how things are going i am not surprised, what I am surprised about is how this teacher thought it was okay to do this in her classroom, people clearly do not know how to behave anymore, hope she is never able to step foot in a classroom and teach again.

  34. Home school your kids , teachers are dumb and don’t get paid

  35. Now she can encourage inmates to fight in jail.

  36. First rule about fight club, keep it off the record

  37. We need to make it easier for children to gather evidence (such as this recording) if they need to.

  38. Who in their right mind encourages kids to be violent & fight? Teaching kids self defense is one thing but this was wrong.

  39. Why did she do that?? Some people don't use their brains.
