"Everything that happened, I regret the whole situation," said teacher Carolyn Jones.
Jones said she had several ongoing problems with four girls in her in school suspension class. Jones said she heard the student in question threaten to take her wig off and that's when the 53-year-old said she decided to remove her false hair herself.
Then at dismissal, Jones said the student snapped.
"Someone knocked on the door, letting us know that we can leave. I said everybody let's go, proceeded to step and move and I got hit in the face. I heard one of the students scream she hit the teacher," said Jones.
The school's police report told a different story. The report indicated that Jones kicked the student to start the fight.
Jones denied the allegations saying, "No, I did not kick her."
School officials said the incident was under investigation and school police wrote disorderly conduct citations for the both the student and the teacher.
"I feel that the school has failed me and [the student] because I had reported on three separate occasions the goings on in the class, the speech, the conduct," Jones said. "If something would have been done sooner, this might not have happened."
Jones said if she had it to do over again she would have responded differently and that it was unfortunate incident she now deeply regrets.
