VIDEO: Teaching Discipline Turned Physical as a High School Teacher Threw an MMA-Style Punch at a Student

Often, teachers in high school are subject to a lot of abuse and ill-treatment. Instances of students taking matters into their own hands and resorting to violence against teachers is not a recent issue but a plague that has long haunted schools in America.

A viral video on the internet, showed just one of the many incidents of abuse that teachers face even up to this day. This video was a throwback to the Maywood High School incident back in 2018, where music teacher Marston Riley punched a student in the face. The California school case was one of the most talked about cases during those times and garnered a lot of attention from people all over the country.

Throwback to high school classroom brawl

The video showed a 14-year-old student arguing and shouting at Marston, as he tried to speak and reason with him. He was later arrested and escorted out of the school after multiple people alleged that he harmed the boy and was solely responsible for the chaos.

Martin was suspended from the school and charged with a misdemeanor count of corporal injury for pounding the boy with multiple punches to his face. Riley was released from jail with a $50,000 bail and he immediately retired as a music teacher after that.

The video and his story got a lot of attention and details of the incidents then slowly started to emerge. It turns out, the student was flagged for not wearing the school uniform and Marston enquired about the same, which the student did not like.

What followed after was a violent outburst on the part of the student, who threw a basketball at him and even used racial slurs towards the 69 year old.

Abuse against teacher not a small issue anymore

The DA eventually dropped all charges filed against Marston and the music teacher also got huge support from his students and the community in California.
A GoFundMe page was set up to help him with the legal expenses and raised over a $190,000, three times than the set goal.

After enduring the harsh ordeal, Riley came out and spoke about the whole incident in detail and told the world his side of the story. The interview was a hard-hitting reality check on the state of teachers in high school and their treatment.

Now a retired man, Riley misses the opportunity to teach and be amongst his students but the unwavering support he received from the community gave him immense strength and belief. He hopes that his story serves as an inspiration for all teachers to stand up for their rights and condone any abuse on teachers elsewhere.
