Science Teacher Assaults, Hospitalizes Pupil

Let this be a lesson to you all. Memorize that periodic table, OR ELSE ... :shock:

BBC: Teacher held after pupils injured

Excerpt:

A science teacher has been arrested on suspicion of an assault on a boy of 14 and two other pupils at a Nottinghamshire school.

The boy is said to be in a serious condition in hospital following the incident at All Saints' Roman Catholic School in Mansfield. Science teacher Peter Harvey, 49, is being questioned by detectives. Det Supt Adrian Pearson said it was "a very serious assault" and there were a "number of witnesses".

Police said the incident took place at the school in Broomhill Lane on Wednesday. The boy was taken to King's Mill Hospital but transferred to Queen's Medical Centre (QMC) in Nottingham where his condition is described as very serious.

The kid probably deserved it.

I live near a school with the same name.

a teacher wouldnt just attack a student out of no where so he would have a reason behind it, probably the kids fault anyway but the law is on his side since teachers cant harm studentsmonkeyd_93

The violence was probably a bit excessive, but how much would you be willing to bet it was the trouble maker of the class?

So apparently a teacher who assaulted a student to the point he was seriously injured is more righteous than a student who's roughhousing. Famiking

Absolutely.

He shouldn't have assualted a student...tends to mess one's life up...but I'm betting the student instigated it.

Absolutely.

Well looking at the attitude of kids in most English schools.. he probably more than likely deserved it.

Beating/assaulting is an option for the weak-minded. Famiking

Self-defense on the teacher's part is another possibility ...

School Power to Search for Knives

Schools in England have been given the legal right to search pupils who are suspected of carrying knives.

There are many societies where teachers do not beat their students, yet students maintain respect for teachers. Beating/assaulting is an option for the weak-minded. Famiking

but i can see how a teach could crack since there are kids that will keep disrespecting them in there own classrooms and there's nothing the teacher can do about it but take the abuse.

I think its great to see a teacher taking a more hands on aproach to teaching. I bet the kid will remember this valuable lesson for the rest of his life.

Kid would've no doubt instigated the situation. I know of someone who got a whole desk thrown at him when he was in school, but he's a bit of a prick so its no surprise.

[QUOTE="Ontain"] oh i agree. it's the parents responsibility. sadly in the US they aren't holding up that end very well (could be due to less free time with wages standing still thus working more for less compared to the past). What gets me also is that some parents will blindly take the child's side over the teachers because they get defensive about their parenting.Ontain

[QUOTE="Ontain"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Lack of interest more like it. People work less hours than they did way back when the country was founded and they kept an eye on the kids.

Wow, that kid must have done something dangerous to provoke the teacher into that reaction. But still, bad show, probably jail awaits for the teacher.

He was just demonstrating the finer points of the laws of Physics.

Whether you work or not...you should teach your children. It's a lack of parental supervision that is that problem.

It only takes one more straw to break the camel's back. I hope it makes all the scumbag kids think twice before arsing round again
