[b]Teacher Peter Harvey 'beat pupil while shouting die' [/b]

A science teacher beat a pupil around the head with a dumbbell while shouting "die, die, die", a court heard.
Peter Harvey, 50, hit the 14-year-old boy with a 3kg weight at All Saints' Roman Catholic School, Mansfield, a jury heard.
He denies attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent, but has admitted a charge of GBH.
Nottingham Crown Court was told students were filmed calling Mr Harvey a "psycho" moments before the attack.
Another pupil was filming as Mr Harvey tried to restore discipline.
The injured schoolboy, who Mr Harvey confronted for misbehaving in class, suffered a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain.
At the time the blows were being struck Mr Harvey was only heard to say one thing... 'die, die, die'
Stuart Rafferty QC
Stuart Rafferty QC, prosecuting, said Mr Harvey was sent home from the school in December 2008 after telling an education adviser he might harm somebody.
He returned to the classroom in April 2009.
Mr Harvey was "happy" and "positive" on the morning of the attack, the court heard.
But, after a girl with behaviour difficulties started being disruptive it was alleged he kicked her, Mr Rafferty said.
He added: "She left the classroom in a state of tears and some of the class took exception to the way she had been treated and started calling him a psycho.
"He didn't seem to respond to that and told the class to get on with their work."
'Chased round classroom'
The schoolboy victim then started waving a wooden metre rule and a metal Bunsen burner about in "high jinks" before he was attacked, the court heard.
Mr Harvey chased him round the classroom and the boy swore at him, the jury was told.
Mr Rafferty said: "That seems to have lit the blue touch paper because Mr Harvey grabbed him by his collar and started dragging him out of the classroom.
"He threw him to the ground and armed himself with a 3kg dumbbell and began to hit the boy about the head with it.
"He struck at least two blows to the head which caused serious injury, really serious injury.
"At the time the blows were being struck Mr Harvey was only heard to say one thing.
"What he was saying was 'die, die, die'."
'Felt no emotion'
The court heard that one pupil tried to drag Mr Harvey off the boy, who was lying on his back looking "frightened and confused".
The teacher was kneeling above him, raising the dumbbell to shoulder height for each of the blows.
Mr Rafferty said: "No-one can say for one moment what happened to this boy was deserved or justified.
"What he (Mr Harvey) did was grossly disproportionate to the wrong inflicted on him by the boy or other members of the class."
The court heard that Mr Harvey later told police he felt like he was watching himself on television.
He said he was not feeling any emotion and "couldn't think at all".
The trial continues.

Looks like the famous pedo-smile
What the fuck.
If teachers can't handle their students then they shouldn't be teaching. Simple.
He sounds like my old physics teacher.
He was fucking awesome, and yeah almost garunteed it was a chav.
Haha, that's only a few miles from here. All the sixth form colleges around here are part of a consortium which allows us to travel to other colleges for specific lessons. Glad I didn't go to All Saints for physics :v:

Even if he was a dirty, filthy chav..
Ouch
Psycho.
Looks like a young version of my English teacher.
Cool, his school has the same name as mine
I don't think I've ever wanted to become a teacher.
I just couldn't deal with the type of annoying fuckers like in this story.
Good ol' fashion schooling at it's best.
If they saw him kick a girl they shouldn't have provoked him.

Bleeding on the brain? God damn that Science Teacher is so going to jail.

Knowing our justice system, he won't. If he does, it won't be for long.

That's the teacher from a similar story last year, thought I'd never find a use for saving the image but I was wrong!
Little cunt shouldn't misbehave. That'll learn him.
Haha science in a Catholic school. Go fucking play with Jesus or some shit.

Proof that it's very difficult to use religion and science against each other, they're so different.
