Marshall compares cameras in the classroom to body cameras worn by police officers, saying videos create accountability and protection for all parties.

Cell phone video produced earlier this month shows a former substitute teacher beating a special needs 16-year-old female student at a school in Kyle, Texas. Investigators say it appears the student hit the substitute in the face, and the substitute responded by repeatedly punching her, throwing her on the ground and stomping on her head.
