A recent incident at Parkland High School in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where a student was caught on camera assaulting a teacher, has sent shockwaves through the community. The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office revealed that the altercation, which occurred on April 15th, resulted in the arrest of the juvenile responsible, facing charges of assault and communicating threats.
The video footage, widely circulated online, depicts the student striking the teacher during a profanity-laden exchange, leaving many parents deeply concerned about their children’s safety within Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools. When she joined the school, the teacher allegedly revealed that she never felt threatened, but this changed as the years passed.
In response to the incident, Superintendent Tricia McManus expressed her commitment to supporting the affected teacher and reiterated that such behavior would not be tolerated. Former teachers from Parkland High School reportedly revealed that violence has been escalating within the school for some time.
Kisha Wall-Freeman, a former teacher at the school, noted a concerning trend of deteriorating discipline and rising violence. Other educators echoed this sentiment, highlighting a shift in student behavior and a lack of adequate disciplinary measures.

Furthermore, the challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic have only compounded these issues. Remote learning has deprived students of essential socialization and conflict-resolution skills, contributing to a culture where violence becomes an unfortunate norm.
The broader statistics paint a grim picture of school safety in North Carolina. Around 60% of public schools reported at least one act of crime during the 2022-2023 school year.
Meanwhile, the student faces one charge for communicating threats and two charges for misdemeanor assault. As the student is a juvenile, the sheriff’s office has stated that no further details will be disclosed.
