'See me on the streets': Teacher has very own 'cash me outside' meltdown in front of cowering 7th graders
DACULA, GEORGIA: A teacher has enraged parents after going on an unhinged rant at students in her classroom and challenged them to "see me on the streets." In what can be compared to rapper Bhad Babie's infamous "cash me outside" moment on 'Dr. Phil', footage from Dacula Middle School captured the angry outburst during a Language Arts class on Thursday, March 16.
The video, which made waves online, was filmed by 7th-grade students in the unidentified teacher's class before they shared it on social media. "I'm sorry I'm a little different, maybe I'm too hood, I don't know," the educator notably remarked as she threatened her class during the rant, which allegedly erupted after she refused to let the children use the bathroom. Parents expressed outrage after watching the clip, with many calling for the teacher to be fired immediately.

'See me on the street'
The video shared with Fox 5 Atlanta was reportedly recorded by a perplexed student from under their desk. It began with the teacher yelling at the youngsters. "Right now, I don't want y'all talking to me," she said, adding, "Y'all act weird, and joking and laughing and it's all funny, but y'all keep that same energy and see me on the street." The threat against the pre-teen students was followed by another warning to "keep that same energy." She added, "Cause, y'all are all tough and tough - if you have an attitude about it, take it up with my boss, I don't care. I'm just telling you how I'm feeling. Leave me alone."
Parents react
The stunning incident raised eyebrows on social media, with several parents questioning how the teacher was able to land a job at the school. Amanda Atkinson, who said she was a parent of one of the students in the class, fumed as she shared the clip on Facebook. "These are 12 and 13-year-old CHILDREN. Other people's children, at that," she began. "So much bothers me about this video," she continued, calling the teacher a "nutcase" and insisting her son was "uncomfortably swaying in his seat because he's been denied his human right to use the bathroom." Atkinson added, "My heart hurts watching. She needs to be held accountable. We cannot keep letting this disgusting behavior by grownups go, and expect that children won't act out because of it. Dacula needs to do better. She needs to go, no questions asked. And she better keep that same energy all the way to the unemployment office."
Sendy Quintero, another Dacula Middle School parent, also reacted with fury. "This teacher is definitely in the wrong place not letting the child go to the bathroom," she said, adding, "Hopefully, Dacula Middle School does something about this."
Investigation underway
Addressing the growing outrage following the episode, school principal Kemberly Bussey emailed a letter to parents assuring them that "appropriate disciplinary action" would be taken against the teacher involved. "Yesterday we were alerted about allegations involving inappropriate behavior and language by one of our teachers," Bussey said. "We immediately alerted the Gwinnett County Public Schools’ Human Resources Department which launched an investigation. Inappropriate behavior by staff and/or students will not be tolerated. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken as needed upon completion of the investigation," she added.
