"after suffering a stroke."

If that's the case then perhaps you're looking at a possible cause of non-typical behaviour from the teacher.

Stroke = brain damage

Re: Mansfield teacher arrested over All Saints pupil assault
 

I agree with Nidge, The biggest problem in schools today, is that children can do what they like in class, as teachers cannot punish them, but it appears that this teacher lost his cool, and this is what happens.

They need to bring the cane back into School Arthur, it never did me and the hundreds of thousands of others who attended schools before the cane was banned.

Re: Mansfield teacher arrested over All Saints pupil assault
 

That's just round the corner from where I used to live on Titchfield Street (Nidge will know where that is). There was also a murder on Deven Drive which is, again, just around the corner from that school and across from my old street.

If this was caused by a teacher, who has lost his rag, then school punishment has to be brought back, l personnally know two teachers, where l live that have been assualted with weapons, and they have just been told not to fight back, by the Head via the local authority, or they will be suspended.

I went to Christopher Wren school, in Sheperds Bush, London, And if you misbehaved in school, you got punished by the slipper in front of the whole school, and it did not do me any harm, what it did do, was respect my elders.

Fear is not the same as respect..

Re: Mansfield teacher arrested over All Saints pupil assault
 

Your right it isnt, but if the little scrote fears retribution for his actions then there is less chance of him being an obnoxious, verbally abusive little smeggy git, respect doesnt come into it, string the little gits up by their ankles till they wet themselves, sod the PC brigade. Its about time kids learnt the way we did before all this PC crap came about.

Re: Mansfield teacher arrested over All Saints pupil assault
 

I'm sure the pupil will be described as a perfect little angel, they always are ...... :erm:

Re: Mansfield teacher arrested over All Saints pupil assault
 

It's one way of thinking, I can't really be bothered to talk about punishment in schools. Expect to say it's odd to use a news story about a teacher beating a kid to to point of attempted murder to advocate the cane. More pointing out that you don't gain respect by hitting people, and children are less likely to know what they have done wrong to deserve punishment and will more likely feel a sense of injustice.

Re: Mansfield teacher arrested over All Saints pupil assault
 

I'm sorry for both the Teacher and the Boy. Something like this has been waiting to happen. I used to do Electrical Maintenance in schools and couldn't believe what Teachers have to put up with. The kids think they can get away with anything. The PC brigade haven't done the teachers or the pupils any favours at all. They have ruined the childrens education. I used to see classes with bedlam going on and the teachers walking out because there was no control. Sometimes the Police had to be called to restore some order. This is covered up by the schools if they possibly can because of a fear they could be shut down.
I have friends who are/were teachers. Three I know have given the job up before it destroy's their health too much. This incident should never have happened,but there is no avoiding it whilst the kids are misbehaving the way they are.
The Teacher, his career in the gutter the pupil badly injured. They'll still find some excuse so PC isn't to blame-crazy.
George.

Re: Mansfield teacher arrested over All Saints pupil assault
 

Sounds to me like a classic case of been pushed too far, kids are so disrepectful today, I agree teachers should be able to smack a kid lightly, but hitting them with a metal object is way over the top, I bet that kid won't do it again to the teacher if he still kept his job (I know he won't)

Re: Mansfield teacher arrested over All Saints pupil assault
 

Since he is still in a serious condition in hospital he may not get the chance..:dozey:

Re: Mansfield teacher arrested over All Saints pupil assault
 

I must say I hope the kid is okay and brian damaged

Re: Mansfield teacher arrested over All Saints pupil assault
 

I think you may have missed the word "not" out (before "brain").

Re: Mansfield teacher arrested over All Saints pupil assault
 

This is really shocking. I suppose we've become used to pupils attacking each other and their teachers, but not a teacher seriously assaulting a pupil.
