A 15-year-old student at a Michigan school has been accused of “unacceptable violence” for throwing a metal chair at her teacher’s head.
In a viral video filmed Thursday, a conflict between two students at Southwestern Classical Academy escalates. The teacher stands between the two students to calm the situation as they shout insults at each other. All it takes is a moment for the teacher to turn around and one of the two students take a metal chair and throw it in her direction.
