Cellphone video of a Texas student's rant at a teacher is making rounds on social media.

The original video was taken off of YouTube, but a posting on another video site has been viewed more than 300,000 times as of 10 p.m. Wednesday. Other versions of the video were reposted to YouTube later.

In the video, recorded at Duncanville High School just outside of Dallas, the student expresses his frustration with the way the Ducanville High School teacher communicates with students. The student was identified by YouTube users and other sources as Jeff Bliss.

"If you would just get up and teach them instead of handing them a freaking packet, yo," the student says in the video. "There's kids in here that don't learn like that. They need to learn face to face."

Watch the complete video embedded below:

"I'm telling you what you need to do," the student says in the video. "You want kids to come into your class, you want them to get excited for this? You gotta come in here, you gotta make them excited. You want a kid to change and start doing better? You gotta touch his freaking heart. You can't expect a kid to change if all you do is just tell 'em."

In the video, the teacher tells the student to leave the classroom.

"You've gotta take this job serious," the student continues in the video. "This is the future of this nation. When you come in here like you did last time and make a statement like, 'Oh this is my paycheck' - indeed it is. But this is my country's future and my education."

Late Wednesday night, the Ducanville ISD released the following statement:

"As a district with a motto of engaging hearts and minds, we focus on building positive relationships with students and designing engaging work that is meaningful. We want our students and teachers to be engaged, but the method by which the student expressed his concern could have been handled in a more appropriate way."

The district said it would continue to be open to listening to students.

The school district declined to identify the teacher or student in the video.
