SEAGOVILLE,Tx. — Should a teacher intervene during a classroom fist fight?
Video taken inside a Seagoville classroom documents a student brawl and shows the teacher looking on.

For months, Michael Milczanowksi said he has felt targeted at Seagoville High School. "It was ever-constant, never changing, ongoing harassment — that's all it was," he said.

Last week, Milczanowksi said it escalated in geometry class after an argument suddenly got physical.

Another student was attacked, knocking over the sophomore and then punching him at least five times.

"This kid was actually trying to hurt me, and I could see it in his eyes," Milczanowksi said, who is seen just standing there on the video.

More troubling, perhaps, is that his math teacher never physically tries to stop the conflict, although he is heard saying "quit" several times.

"I expected him to physically intervene to keep that from happening, but I guess I was wrong," Milczanowksi said.

The incident ends when the 17-year-old eventually walks out.

Other students recorded the fight and posted the video online. It's still sickening for Milczanowksi's aunt, Christina Vrba, to watch.

"When I pulled up the video, I was speechless. I can't even form words," she said. "Teacher should have stepped in. To me, that is absolutely the worst thing — absolutely."

Dallas ISD would only says it is investigating the incident, and that it has taken disciplinary action against the student who started it.

But the math teacher is getting support from his union.

i have never heard of a fight in geometry class, there is some potential for some serious weapons being deployed, the protractor as a ninja star, and the long ruler as a sword, not to mention the compass as a shank, must have made good viewing.

@brocowsci Makes me look woot? Learn to know someone? Dude i CLEARLY can see how that asshole punch him in hes face, beside even if he did something before this accident, im sure its not allowed in your "lawbook" that you can punch someone in the face right? so dont call me arogant, cuz im not foolish.

Only in America...Good old USA turning into a humongous basket case! Banks are predating on Americans, dog eat dog society, greed is king and the ultimate goal for success! you watch complete idiots making it big in politics (Paling, Limbaugh, Perry etc) After loosing your job because your company outsource to China you find out your kids are getting kicked in the face in front of the teacher and he does nothing! The tail is wagging the dog! Then you look for another country to migrate to...
