Student recorded incident on video
A New Bedford teacher who had a chair thrown at her by a student now says her job is in jeopardy.
High school teacher Joanne Maura said she received a letter from administrators telling her she failed to preform her “responsibilities as a teacher at New Bedford High School” and could be terminated.
“I feel like I’ve been assaulted again,” she said.
The letter said she did not inform the administration of the nature, details and severity of the incident.
Marua told NewsCenter 5 that after the student threw the chair at her, other teachers ran to the room, along with an administrator and the school resource officer.
Another student in the classroom was recording the outburst and posted it on YouTube.
Maura said she took the student’s phone away during class and he began yelling at her to return it.
The video shows the student pick up the chair and hurl it toward the teacher.
It smashed against her desk.
The superintendent would not comment on the details of the investigation.

Joel Cartagena, 36, was accused of grabbing Tiffany Chau’s hair on a street in the South End at about 3:20 p.m. Thursday and threw her into the passenger seat. He then drove off, but crashed the Honda Civic a couple of blocks away.

Wheeler was also was one of the first people to tend to Chau.
“She said she had been carjacked and her nose started bleeding,” Wheeler said. “She was really shaken when we got her into the restaurant.”
Cartagena was held on $50,000 cash bail following his arraignment in Boston Municipal Court, where he faced eight charges.
While processing Chau’s car, Boston police said they found a Visa card belonging to a man who had been robbed in Jamaica Plain. During the booking process, a Citi MasterCard belonging to the same man was recovered from Cartagena’s clothing, police said.
