Mesquite ISD said that the substitute teacher allowed students to fight in the classroom on Wednesday, according to the report.
Martinez's daughter told the news outlet that the teacher pushed aside desks to make room for the fight, and some kids were bleeding afterwards.
At least four students were seen fighting in the video, according to the outlet. The teacher called out "30 seconds" before one of the fights began, and a timer was heard going off at various times while the fights were taking place.
"Who in their right mind? Because I trust my child to go to school, but I also trust the staff to keep my kids safe. And then this lady, she just is actually making them fight," Martinez said.
In the video, the teacher can be heard saying she "does not want this on record," threatening to take away cell phones if any student had it out.
