Middle School Love Triangle Fight
(WSB Radio) New information from the police report on that fight at Clayton County's Rex Mill Middle School, where a love letter on Facebook told two teachers they were dating the same man.
32 year old Chaka Cobb says she's pregnant by another teacher at the school. When she was checking his Facebook account, she found a love letter to him from a co-worker, 25 year old Ebony Smith.
So Cobb posted an angry message and when the women got to school Monday, it got downright nasty.
On the 8th grade hall, with students as witnesses, the report says there was cursing, punches thrown and a threat to post the love letter for everyone to see.
Parents at Rex Middle cannot believe the two fought over a man, especially in front of the kids.
Both teachers remain on paid administrative leave, for now.
They face criminal charges of disorderly conduct. Smith's also accused of battery because, witnesses say, she started the fight.
What others are saying
- TeachersHey kid, your aunt put her business in the "streets" for everybody to comment on. Her actions were public and she and the other young lady should have handled their issues like grownups. You'll learn that a little more as you get older. One lesson we all learn as we grow up and these 2 teachers didn't practice was: Think before you act. Schools over.
- RE-STATING THE PROBLEM!ANOTHER THING DON'T BE UP HERE COMMENTING ABOUT MY AUNTIE LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER MADE A SERIOUS MISTAKE. AND SOME OF YOU PEOPLE NEED TO CHECK YOUR GRAMMAR B4 YOU TALK TRASH ABOUT A LANG. ARTS TEACHER! MAYBE THE BABY-DADDY WAS LAUGHIN...WHO KNOWS BUT BACK TO MY MAIN POINT EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT "ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER COMMITED A SIN HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE!"
I KNEW THAT & IM 14!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - gidd of my auntie's knuttsz(just a figure of speech)first of all...i am a child(14 yrs old) you people are so ignorant to the full situation! ya'll are talkin junk and ya'll only know what the news says not the 100% truth! one of the teachers fightin was myi aunt. she is the preacher's daughter AND the nurse's daughter! but looks may be deceiving! you guys have no idea what REALLY took place so stop gossiping and talkin smack cause ya'll dont REALL know what's up! that annoys me to the MiLLi0NtH dEGREE!
- education down th toilet@ Towing..rednecks don't deserve this insult..these huzzies were black..yes I'm black and I said it...and one was a preachers and nurses daughters and pregnant at that..I am amazed even though Smith started the fight..the pregnant should have known better...the man should have been blamed in ths..he was probably posted up laughing at them...and why was she in his account anyway..a mature woman and a real teacher would have let the man go and used this as a life lesson and moved about her business during this recession so she can fully support her unborn child..now look at this mess she's created..and she created..CObb truly created this online..sheshould have left the love letter thing at home between her and the guy..they should have disussed that behind closed door..I'm glad no children were hurt..and hopefully they are not scarred for life..its scary enough to see kids fighting and they had to see the adults going at it..I agree..fire them and snatch their GA teaching license..you have some people who love to be in their position and they took it for granted...idiots..and right before the holidays..gonna be weird at Thxgivn dinner for them ..HA
- Agreed, and DisagreedFirst off, they should be fired, no question. If that happened in any position lacking a government affiliation, all 3 of the individuals involved would have already been fired. Many companies out there bar inter-office relationships with zero tolerance in an attempt to avoid incidents like this one. However, let's look at this demographically...in response to TOWG, you probably are much more accurate with the "gang" part of your statement and less with the "redneck" if you get my drift. Fear of being racially insensitive (or perhaps of finding suckers to fill their positions) is potentially a reason for their still being employed at the moment. If we're picking on grammar, we should also mention that the second statement in the post of "not surprised" is not a sentence, rather a clause which should have been attached to the previous sentence. To ConcernedCitizen: As a young individual myself, I can tell you without hesitation that no, we do not deserve better as a whole. Most kids these days can tell you how many messages they send on Twitter each days but have no idea who Montezuma or Andrew Jackson was. Even if we had the best resource pool in the world from which we could attain our educations, so few of us would use it. Grocery stores don't carry certain products just to appease 1 or 2 individuals while the product spoils on the shelves unused; why then should we as a nation make a fruitless effort toward giving its children "better" when that system spoils on the shelf? It's a waste of money until the general population (both young and old) make an effort to improve itself.
- I agree that they should be fired. Set an example for the other teachers that we will not put up with base, immature behavior from teachers who obviously do not care about the children they are teaching, just like last year's BOE. PLEASE get rid of them and allow some of the decent unemployed teachers to teach.
- GOT ANY TYLENOL?This story gives me a headache!
- Both of these teachers are my teachers and i don't think ANYBODY sould be saying anything because everyone of us probably would have done the same thing.This is a problem and it should discussed outside school but cut them some slack.
- "teachers" fightingWhat's really sad is that this is newsworthy. I mean, please. Give me a break. And if either of these 'women' (and I use that term LOOSELY) are able to teach again, something is VERY wrong. and the stupid male teacher, someone needs to tell him to KEEP IT IN HIS PANTS.
- INSANE BEHAVIORAll 3 should be fired NOW! No student should be a witness to such behavior. It's obvious these 3 have NO morals or values about themselves. All they have is sex on the brain. And, obviously it was of no importance to them whether they would lose their jobs! Our children deserve better. Rex Mill is an awesome school and we want teachers of quality and excellence. Now it's tainted by a horrible love triangle between teachers. What a nightmare!!!!
- What a gang of rednecks.
- Trashy BehaviorTypical for people of this caliber. Fortunately, neither Chaka nor Ebony used a knife.
- Not surprised = Educationally Challengedsigle mom's? shinnig? And you have the nerve to complain about "government schools?" Learn grammar and learn to spell first.
- WOWThis story made http://detentionslip.org ! Check it out for all the crazy headlines from our schools.
- Why is everyone so upsetIsn't this what these students see at home? If they don't see it, then there classmates tell them about it b/c it happened with there mom's new friend.
- Teachers fightingThey should be fired now...today and their teaching permit pulled. They should never teach again. Being unmarried and pregnant by a co-worker is enough. What kind of role model are t hese people.
- love triangleok....you know that one of those kids had to get all of this on a cell phone video! I would LOVE to see it!!
- Teacher's fightWhy are they still getting paid they should be fired or is this the best Clayton County has to offer.
- And we expect them to teach our childrenYup, go ahead and send your kids to the govt school. Where they will learn about sigle mom's and cat fights over a man. Another shinning example of the what we allow to be called "teachers" today.
- love triangleIsn't there a morals clause or a professional standard which would hold the male teacher accountable as well? Of course some feel its ok for him to use his mostly female co-workers as his own personal dating pool.
