that's a cop-out, how about improving the situation? It's not rocket science: school behaviour policies are often poorly thought out, badly implemented and inconsistently applied. SLT need to get every teacher in a school singing from the same hymn sheet - children need consistency to know where they stand; if one teacher punishes for a transgression whilst another lets it slide children are left confused and then rail against the stricter members of staff.
Schools that nail their behaviour policies allow both staff and students thrive (partly by increasing staff retention rates). Of course, no behaviour policy will ever get certain 'little darlings' to behave and at that point you need a set of graduated responses, ending up ultimately with the child getting the boot, without the board of governors worrying about losing money and thus upholding appeals against permanent exclusion. The question then becomes "What do we do with these children?". I don't really know (nor do I particularly care), put them in borstal if you want, or home school them with the cost being shared between the LEA and the parents - at least then there will be some responsibility taken by bad parents.
He hospitalised a student using a 2kg weight. There is no "technically" about it. He was wrong to do that.
you said you where kept in fear of punishment, that's scared.
But don't worry standing outside the class room is a truly horrible torture

your talking as if it would have been cool and tough to constantly make a scene and refuse to do anything and eventually get kicked out.
the guy clearly needed better class room management or training to support it.
I never have any problems with my lot at work, but then i ask first and tell after (if something isn't being done)
Now my last job teaching adults, there was a job i could have really duplicated this mans actions lol

Lets get some context here. He wasn't just rude, he told him to go and have another ****** stroke. Thats highly personal and extremely cruel.
Just to re-iterate, the boy got what he deserved.
Out of the twelve or whatever years he spends in school you can guarantee that this incident has seen him learn one very valuable lesson.
The question is whether he meant to clobber the poor ******* on the head with it.
I've thrown things in anger before (damn competetive games
) without any intention.From what i've read, the little ***** was HIGHLY insulting.
So granted the teacher was wrong, but imho school should have some measure of preparing you for society. In the world we live in, if you insult someone greviously, you ARE going to get the **** kicked out of you.

As I understand it he dragged him into a store cupboard shouting people will die.
I think you assume he was well out of his tree by that point. He should have just quit before it got to that but you have to wonder about the system that allowed it in the first place.
Where is the risk assessment for the teachers mental health?

Your views astound me; you really think that being bludgeoned with a weight and suffering a brain haemorrhage is fit punishment for insulting someone?
I hope you don't have kids, you sound like a psychopath.

Im on the side of the teacher, yeah ok he over reacted and shouldnt of hit the kid in such a fashion, but no doubt the little **** deserved it.
99% of kids these days have no respect for anyone and expect things to be given to them.
Bring back the cane, never did me or my sister any harm, it would fix most problems in school in an instant, the fear of the cane alone kept kids in check in my day.

Oh god the irony. :/
Respect isn't a given. The mere fact that someone has a certain occupation doesn't entitle them to my immediate respect. It has to be earnt. Teachers are just people like me.

Missing.String you're wrong.
The mere fact that the man in front of you in the daft looking wig and red robe has a certain occupation means you will respect him, cos if you give him a piece of attitude you're spending the night in the cells.
Thats just one example.
Get over it, respect IS a given and you will learn as you grow older that it isn't a two way street.

You realise that people have been saying this for thousands of years, right?

That's fear, not respect.
Some people seem to have trouble telling the difference. Most of these people also seem to want to bring back corporal punishment. But it didn't do them any harm, honest.
Everyone is entitled to respect from day 1, the pupils and the teachers at schools. Yes teachers are people just like you so how would you like being swore at and mocked by a class of kids you're trying to teach?
It sounds like these kids were out of control, yet another product of Broken Britain. My sympathies are with this teacher, he will undoubtedly get a longer sentence because of his profession, but if it was the other way round with the kid being charged with attempted murder of a teacher the sentence would be incredibly light. Once again our justice system is designed to punish decent, hard-working people
