[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The harrowing incident took place on Thursday afternoon at the Southwestern Classical Academy in Flint, Michigan.
Disturbing footage showed the teacher standing in front of the classroom speaking to students before being whacked to the floor with the chair.
The teacher, who was not named, was hospitalized though it is unclear the injuries she sustained in the assault.
She was discharged from the hospital on Thursday and is expected to return to work next week.
The school's Superintendent Kevelin Jones issued a letter to parents informing them that an altercation took place this week between 'two scholars' which led to the staff member getting injured.
It is unclear if the student was arrested or is facing charges.

| The International Baccalaureate program is an academically demanding high school program whose graduation certificate is recognized around the world. I’d looked into it when we first moved back to the States, when we expected we would within the next three years be sent back Out There. I am shocked that students at such a school would would be so disinterested in improving their GPA that they’d indulge in temper tantrums in the classroom, no matter where it is based. |
