A veteran teacher in Florida has been fired after she allegedly choked a student in her classroom following an altercation.
Ava Williams, who worked for the Broward School System for more than 20 years was fired by the district Thursday, following several investigations which have been underway since September last year.
The teacher was finally snared when a fellow teacher, Shawony Russell, stepped forward and claimed Williams had admitted choking the student, after the pupil had slammed their desk against the wall in a rage after the class had gone on lunch.
