He had been off work with stress previously. It was a 4 day trial, the jury heard all the evidence but took less than 3 hours to clear him.

This. I have been in a class when a teacher has been called a lot worse than "Psycho"
All the people on here who are saying that they are glad that he got off would probably being going on about how kids like that need the book thrown at them if it had been the other way round.

He didnt get away with it he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge.
Kids today know schools are generally lawless and they can get away with literally anything due to the pathetic system we now live in. It doesnt matter if its a good teacher or a bad teacher if a kid wants to abuse his priviledge of being given an education he will do so with little threat of punishment.
If mobile phones only had the ability to make phone calls a lot of trouble in schools would cease.
And no I am not justifiying what he did was right, it obviously wasnt, but the child himself knew exactly how to push the right buttons to set the teacher off with the sole aim to raise his standing with his fellow pupils, he was probably to stupid to know when to stop.

He probably got off in the same way all those so called minors get off for attacking teachers; welcome to the adult world "kids" where if you can't take it, you shouldn't dish it out

He pleaded guilty to GBH I think, ironically had the child died this would have been enough for murder (so I doubt he would have pleaded guilty to it had the child died). Jury have obviously decided he didn't intend to murder. Strange.

Phones are a massive problem in classroom disruption and teachers from more than one Brighton school have had 'secretly shot' footage of themselves in lessons put on the net in recent years by kids with mobile phones.

The kid was a little bastard, whose continual goading, along with his classmates, caused a decent man to lose his head. Cowardly mob mentality by kids who think they can get away with anything are to blame here. It doesn't excuse the teacher's actions but I bet the little bastards will think twice before trying something similar in the future.

Doesn't murder or attempted murder imply some sort of pre-mediation and planning. If the boy had died, it would have been manslaughter?

To murder someone you must either intend to kill them or intend to cause GBH (which can be transferred by magic into being sufficient for a murder charge, one of the extremely outdated doctrines of criminal law). He has pleaded guilty to GBH meaning he had the intent and committed the act of GBH, had the child died he would have been guilty of his murder on the basis he had the intent to cause GBH and the child died as a result. Prosecution would have found it easier had the child died.

If every classroom was issued with a dumb bell across the UK, would discipline rapidly improve? It would also prove a useful paper-weight. Two birds, one stone.

There'd be more fractured skulls than A grade passes but it's a price most of us would be willing to pay. You thought about entering politics portlock?

Perhaps if you read a little bit more about the case you might understand how totally inaccurate this statement is.

Can't now. Made too many NSC posts and the internet has been the downfall of many wanna be politicians e.g. my alias would get rumbled one day and the Sun's headline would scream sometime afterward MP in "I'll s*** on former Focus DIY Exec's grave" outrage! Not that I didn't mean it. Or that it's especially outrageous; they dung Cromwell up and re-hanged him, and he's another bastard dictator who got away with murder.

They knew he was mentally ill and set out to make him have a breakdown, they got the reaction they wanted.
I'm glad he got the lesser charge
