Thats the problem with the system of him pleading guilty to a lesser charge i suppose - juries will often not convict the higher charge if there is a lesser charge they can choose, or if already pleaded guilty to a lesser charge

It's pretty obvious that something had been ongoing for sometime, the straw that broke the camels back. I'm surprised we don't hear of more cases like this to be honest.

I agree .. teenagers these days (oh god I'm sounding like my mum), but truly, the majority (note I say the majority, not all), are right little buggers!
Am pleased for the man ...
and I stand up and give a HUGE round of applause for (particularly) secondary teachers out there ... I couldn't do your not, not would I, not for a million pounds!

I agree, he shouldn't have reacted with violence, but you can't kick a lion in the nuts and then cry when it bites you.

Aye noone has come out of this well - the kids, the teacher, and whoever decided he was ready to go back to teaching. I wonder if we will hear the patter of tiny civil lawyers feet soon?

It does seem as though mental issues are taken much too lightly by a lot of people.

I agree. You couldn't pay me enough to deal with today's little "perishers".

I was pleased to hear this. Throughout the reporting of the trial, the picture of the teacher seemed to be of a caring, committed, passionate and hard-working teacher. I wonder what will happen to his career now?
All sympathy for the kid and everything - the beating he got seemed out of all proportion to the beating he actually deserved...

I agree... I think disruptive teenagers aren't punished severely enough and the stress of such pupils to some teachers is concerning.
I'm glad he got acquitted...a dedicated teacher battling on it seems without adequate support or powers to deal with difficult pupils...I'm surprised more haven't 'flipped'

The judge very heavily criticised the CPS for proceeding with this case , he thinks they should have dropped it. He got bail shortly before the trail because of the weakness in the case

Finally! A thread actually supporting teachers. I dare say the bashers will be along shortly.

Does that mean we can put in for a pay rise?

Good to see commonsense has prevailed.
The little varmints had better watch out from now on!

When the lad gave evidence he couldn't remember waving the ruler around.
He had no recollection of dancing around with the bunsen burner.
His memory retained nothing about shouting abuse.
What's the betting his parents will pose for photos with their darling butter-wouldn't-melt son?

I'm not doubting the kid deserved a beating, but I struggle to believe that he didn't intend to kill that child.
Doubt he'll offend again though and the kid's hopefully been knocked down a peg or two so not overly fussed like...

Glad he was cleared of the major charge's.
He has, though, got to be sentenced for the lesser charge of GBH which he pleaded guilty on. This on it's own will end his career and lose him his pension.
The pupils are not entirely blameless either as on that day they went in the classroom with a video camera with the intention of making him snap and filming it. Surely there must be a charge there for them to answer too.
Although not on the CHAD website ( http://www.chad.co.uk/news/Peter-Har...und.6263762.jp ) this was stated in the actual paper as being brought up in court.
