Magdalena, NEW MEXICO

It's an Onion story, isn't it? The teacher stated in a letter to the principal that the child was in his space and he needed to know who was boss. The boy has a concussion after having his head slammed against a bathroom wall. The teacher confessed he didn't know his own strength and once threw a girl across the classroom.

The court document adds that Billy was written up March 5 by the principal after Billy had allegedly slammed a student in a chair. That report stipulated that Billy was not to be alone with any student at any time.

May 15, 2008 - Howard Billy, Jr., 39, an assistant teacher at Magdalena High, choked and pushed a 14-year-old student in a boys’ bathroom during the school day. He was charged with aggravated battery for following the 14-year-old boy to the bathroom and choking him and slamming his head against the wall.

The incident was witnessed by another student. In a report titled “Report to Parents of a Head Injury,” the nurse wrote that the boy sustained a mild concussion.

Billy no longer works for the school. A court appearance is scheduled for May 28.
