49 year old science teacher Peter Harvey attacks 14 year old Jack Waterhouse at All Saints Roman Catholic School in Mansfield, Notts.
A correspondent involved in education says:
Good 4 the Science Teacher who tried 2 murder a rebellious boy pupil! Serious head injuries. Every teacher wld like 2 murder at least one pupil! Many teachers will b envious of the Mansfield science teacher who has actually succeeded in fulfilling every teacher's fantasy of really braining one of the little devils!
Many teachers feel in their heart of hearts they would like 2 brain the "little" devils - many of whom r 6 foot tall or more & don't know their own strength.
It was the fault of the headmistress, who was not up 2 the job of keeping discipline in a big comprehensive & she failed 2 protect that science teacher from bullying by pupils, until he had a breakdown & ended in Clink.
I too am pretty certain that the teacher was sorely provoked, knowing what I know of the likely behaviour of the typical British teenager.
It seems Peter Harvey had only just returned from stress-related leave.
If we do not address the behaviour of the typical British teenage boy - some of whom are known to go around raping female teachers - http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2005/jul/05/ukcrime.schools - or who murder headmasters such as Philip Lawrence - there may well be a shoot'em up rampage by a teacher before too long, along the lines of Columbine, but perpetrated by a member of the teaching profession ...
No doubt the government and its opposition will continue pretending all is well in our wonderful (third) world class education system, which is now so efficiently educating our children to make them fit for a life of catering, chambermaiding, TV cookery, pop idolatry, soccer stardom, gangstas, lap dancing and white slavery.

Mick Brookes, General Secretary of National Association of Head Teachers, interviewed on Channel 4 last night on the subject of the new Alternative Maths A level, clearly approved of the latest teaching scam of dumbing down. Perhaps this is something to do with hoping that the chances of his members being stabbed by bored, unteachable, singly-parented feral schoolboys who object to being challenged by academic rigour and classroom discipline would be thereby diminished.
There is a group on Facebook called "In Support of Mr Peter Harvey (All Saints' R.C. School, Mansfield)" which readers may wish to check out.
