Video Goes Viral Of Winston-Salem Student Slapping Teacher

Author JD Diva
Apple and a pile of books and pens on teacher table in classroom. Blurred background scene of high school student doing homework. Focus on foreground. Copy space. Education concept.

I have to admit I was absolutely stunned when I saw the video of a Winston-Salem student slapping a teacher. The most shocking part of the video is when the student slaps the teacher twice in the face and the teacher sits there.

WXII – TV12 reports it happened at Parkland High School this week and that student is now facing charges. The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office has charged the student with two counts of misdemeanor assault on a government official and one count of communicating threats.

The District Attorney’s office has some harsh words for this type of behavior from students. While the D.A. would not go into specifics of the case, he did warn anyone who assaults a teacher, that justice will be “swift and mighty.”

WXII says D.A. Jim McNeill delivered this message during a news conference. “Today is about one thing: sending a message to the teachers out there that law enforcement and the district attorney’s office support you and care about the job you do. Nobody goes to work and expects to be assaulted.”

While the student is facing legal troubles, the Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools’ superintendent says he will face consequences from the school as well.  Based on the school district’s Code of Character, Conduct, and Support, the student violated Level 5, but the superintendent recommends the student face the highest consequences and that’s Level 6 which could mean expulsion.

The school district’s Code of Character, Conduct, and Support outlines six levels of disciplinary responses based on the severity of a student’s violation.

The student will have a hearing to determine the future of his educational career. As for the teacher, she declined medical treatment after the assault is has returned to work. Take a look at the viral video of the incident below and tell us what you think of this unfortunate situation.

8 North Carolina Schools Earned The Distinction of National Blue Ribbon Schools

Yesterday 8 North Carolina schools were named National Blue Ribbon Schools by the U.S. Department of Education. According to the Department of Education, “the recognition is based on a school’s overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student groups on assessments. These schools demonstrate what is possible to make an enduring, positive difference in students’ lives.” A total of 353 schools nationwide received this distinction, this included 313 public schools and 40 private schools. Each of the 8 North Carolina schools recognized was a public school.

The award-winning schools will be formally recognized at an awards ceremony on November 16 and 17, 2023 in Washington, DC. This is the 40th year the Department of Education has selected the National Blue Ribbon Schools. According to the department the criteria for public schools are as follows:

Performance Award Criteria for Public Schools: In order to be eligible for nomination, a school must meet several criteria based on the performance of its students on state assessments in reading (or English language arts) and mathematics or a composite of performance on these assessments with other measures of student performance (e.g., student growth on state assessments, performance on state assessments in other subjects, graduation rates, or other indicators in the state’s accountability system).

You can read more about the eligibility requirements here. Congratulations to each of these eight North Carolina Schools that received the National Blue Ribbon Schools recognition. They represent elementary, middle, and high schools across the state. In fact, there are 7 different school districts represented with the remaining school being a charter school.
