HOUSTON – A Houston area elementary teacher is out of a job and now faces a felony charge after she allegedly punched a second-grader in the face then sat on the boy in a school hallway last month.

Landis Elementary School teacher Lisa Allison, 48, allegedly ordered the disruptive student to leave her classroom last month and followed him into the hallway where they got into a scuffle. School surveillance video shows Allison grabbed the student by the hand, and when the boy pulled away she allegedly decked him in the face “with a closed fist,” according to court records cited by KHOU.

The second grader contends Allison told him, ‘I’m tired of you’ before the Oct. 12 attack, which also involved Allison pushing the boy to the floor and sitting on him until school administrators intervened, KTRK reports.

The boy said he was simply getting his backpack when Allison took him down.

“When questioned, (Allison) told police the boy was thrown out of class for making noise and that he’d begun kicking lockers in the hallway. She said she only went out to escort him to the office and didn’t remember hitting him, but did admit to holding him down on the floor,” the Houston Chronicle reports.

According to a prepared statement sent out by the Alief Independent School District, “The Harris County District Attorney’s Office has charged Alief employee Lisa Allison with injury to a child following an investigation by Alief ISD Police and district administrators.

“Allison was immediately placed on leave when allegations were brought to the attention of campus and district administrators and will not return.”

Administrators found Allison in the hallway sitting on the boy and ordered her to let him go. The student reportedly walked calmly to the office without further incident, KTRK reports.

The teacher did not respond to the Chronicle’s request for comment about the incident.

The prosecutor’s office authorized the felony charge against Allison on Monday, but she had not been arrested when parents learned of the incident while picking up their kids from Landis Elementary School on Wednesday, KHOU reports.

“That’s crazy,” parent Mito Garcia told the news site. “I don’t think they should be doing anything like that, if it did happen.”

Diana Rodriguez, parent of a second grader at the school, agreed.

“I mean, if you’re a teacher, you go to school for this,” she said. “You go to school to be able to handle this, to be able to know you have to have patience.”
