Video of teacher's outburst is on Web
The Board of Education in Jersey may toughen its policy on use of wireless telephones in schools, after a videotape showing a High School teacher screaming at his students to show respect for the national anthem — and then pulling the chair from underneath one student who refused to stand — was posted on several independent Web sites, reports the Ashbury Park Press and Political Gateway.
This happened at Brick Township High School in Jersey.
New Jersey School Board is considering ban of cell phones (due to the video) in its schools.

A similar incident occured in a junior college in Singapore in 2003, where a student reportedly used a camera phone to film a teacher berating a classmate for a poorly written paper, and tearing up the student's work.
