An Atlanta teacher faces a disciplinary hearing — and possible termination — after her expletive-filled rant was caught on video by one of her students.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the local school district has launched an investigation into a teacher’s unhinged meltdown inside a classroom.

The video was captured by a student on her cell phone. In the video, a teacher is heard screaming at a classroom filled with children.
The teacher yells and curses at a boy who didn’t follow her instructions to close the classroom door.
“Stop! I ain’t f*cking playing with you. You want to play? Stay home with your mama,” the teacher says in the video.
Santosha Manuel told Channel 2’s Erica Byfield that she instructed her niece to video record the teacher after the youngster informed her about the teacher’s foul language.
Manuel said she was in the building when the principal viewed the video and seconds later, the teacher was yanked from her classroom.
From AJC.com:
“Two months ago, Yvette came home and said the teacher had said ‘f you’ to her and to sit down,” Manuel said. “I told her, if it happened again, to get proof, and that’s what her cellphone was for and to record it so that I would have proof this time.”
District leaders confirmed the teacher in the video works at Crawford Long Middle School in southwest Atlanta.
Manuel said she wants answers and that the teacher needs to explain why, during her rant, she slammed her student’s mothers.
“I have a f****** job, half your mothers don’t,” the teacher says in the video.
“You are talking down to them, you are talking bad about their parents,” Manuel said.
The school district sent an email to Channel 2 Action News explaining that an investigation was ongoing and the teacher is “not currently assigned to work directly with students.”
