I wonder what would drive a teacher to over react in such a desperate and uncontrolled fashion..?

Something is not quite right here, it's one of them schools where children come into from miles away, they come from as far as Newark which is 23 miles away from Mansfield. The school has got a good name with OFSTED, trying to get your child into that school is a miracle.

The Teacher involved has been at the school for a number of years.

. . . and is highly respected by many of the pupils. (i have just been told that by a pupil at the school).

I was talking to Kev the caretaker + security guard last night about the inncident, he was gutted because he knew the pupil and the teacher involved.

Hmm I see the point - question is where did the source of this "aqusation" come from?

It's well known around our area that you can't get your kids into All Saints, they'd sooner bring children in from other areas of Nottinghamshire than take children in that are in the catchment area. Some children come from as far away as Lincoln to go to All Saints in Mansfield.

Apparently the lad was messing about with some rulers, Harvey told him to stop a number of times the kid was verbally abusive to the teacher telling him to F off among other things and the teacher hit him on the head with a metal weight. As for the other 2 kids I havnt heard anything about them. Harvey is a well respected and liked teacher at All Saints and has not long returned back to work after suffering a stroke.

Stepson who attends All Saints just told me.

Like I said Al something is not right here, he sounds like a teacher you'd be glad to take a lesson with. Sounds like the kid rubbed him up the wrong way.
