I don't think it's a leap to assume the teacher handled this poorly. So let's assume he's a good teacher that handled this situation poorly. Being allowed to "confiscate" a phone during class time doesn't mean actually physically fighting to confiscate the phone.
by all accounts, the teacher took his phone from another student, then this student went and grabbed it from the teacher, who then made it into a fight for the phone.
YOu are one of the more common-sense gfyers, I bet you agree that this teacher and policy could use some best practices updates on how to handle these types of students, maintaining control of a classroom and how to confiscate a phone.
there is no question the kid assaulted the instructor but he would not have if that phone was just sitting somewhere and he took it back. the teacher held on to it and made it a physical altercation by not relinquishing it. He could have put the phone away and if the student then usurped a boundary to get his phone back, a simple call to security would have kept that teacher in control of his classroom and kept the other students out of harm's way.
