Overview

  • A Florida middle school teacher allowed frequent fighting in her classroom and even laid out rules for the brawls.
  • Sixth-grade girls recorded multiple fights on video and showed administrators, leading to the teacher's arrest on four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
  • The teacher denied organizing the fights but was caught on video setting rules and verbally intervening at times.
  • Parents who saw the videos alerted the school to the teacher's misconduct.
  • If convicted, the teacher could face up to five years in prison on each count.
