Fair Lawn High School teacher on leave after video of him yelling at student goes viral

These hidden video cameras got you every time. 

The Record reports a Fair Lawn High School teacher has been placed on leave after a video showing him yelling at a student was posted online.


Superintendent of Schools Bruce Watson said the Board of Education and administration "deeply regret the actions that took place in the video." He added officials share the concern and dismay that has been expressed by the public.

"We clearly do not condone it," said Watson.

The teacher, who was not identified by officials, was placed on leave while the district investigates all aspects of the situation, Watson said.

The teacher, whose face is blocked by the student, can be heard in the video on YouTube saying "Shut your mouth. Don't you ever for one second in your life think that you're going to tell me anything." He asks the student if he understands. With his voice raised, the man states, "You are my G--d---student. You get that? I'm your teacher. Don't ever tell me what to do. Do you get it now?" Once the student walks away the teacher states, "Go cry to your counselor."
