A student caught the expletive-laden rant on camera and after news coverage of the expletive laden video, which occurred inside a classroom full of students, the school district launched an internal investigation on the matter.
?I have a f****** job, half your mothers don?t,? the teacher says in the video.

According to the AJC, the guardian of a student at Crawford Long Middle School told Channel 2?s Erica Byfield that she was in the building when the principal found out about the incident and seconds later, the teacher was yanked from her classroom.
?I?m trying to do something, and I can?t keep babysitting you. Close the door!? the teacher yells at the students.
?Stop! I ain?t f****** playing with you. You want to play? Stay home with your mama,? the teacher says in the video.
Santosha Manuel said she told her niece to shoot the video.
“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 have 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 district released the following statement about the incident:
“Atlanta Public Schools (APS) promotes a culture of ethics to which all employees are expected to adhere.
This is a personnel matter that is currently being investigated. However, APS can confirm that the teacher is not currently assigned to work directly with students.”
Wow… Atlanta Public Schools has had it’s share of problems but at least they quickly pulled the woman out of the classroom. There’s no excuse for the teacher’s behavior, but I’m almost positive she’s suffering from the pressures of being overworked and underpaid.
