teacher attack! caught on cell phone video

Teachers looking for work take note; you might not want to work at Reginald F. Lewis High School in Baltimore.

Not after art teacher Jolita Berry was attacked by a student in her own classroom anyway. Here's The Baltimore Sun's account of what happened when Berry tried to get a student in her class to sit down:

"She said she's gonna bang me," Berry said. "I said, 'Back up, you're in my space. If you hit me, I'm gonna defend myself.'"

But Berry, who is 30 and started her job teaching art at the Northeast Baltimore school in December, did not defend herself. The girl caught the teacher off guard as other students cheered her on and screamed, "Hit her!"

Anyway while the kids in her class might not have manners they do have cell phones; and another student captured the incident, posting it on the internet.

While the cell phone video was originally put online to shame the teacher, it ended up having the opposite effect; drawing attention to Berry as a victim after her own principal tried to sweep the incident under the rug; saying Berry "provoked" the attack, by saying she would defend herself.
