'Pupil murder bid' teacher held
A science teacher has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a boy of 14 and two other pupils were hurt at a Nottinghamshire school.
Pupil Jack Waterhouse is said to be in a serious condition in hospital following the incident at All Saints' Roman Catholic School in Mansfield.
Science teacher Peter Harvey, 49, is being held in police custody.
Detectives have been granted extra time, until 2015 BST on Friday, in which to question him.
Det Supt Adrian Pearson said a weapon was used and there were a "number of witnesses".

On another site, some of the people commenting on that kids pic are suggesting that he probably deserved it...

Nobody's deserves that. Why would a teacher want to murder a pupil though?

By that what I mean is that when at school you would see some students go way too far - and if you never saw that, you could be the one that was going so far?

Lousy teaching.
I doubt they were taught how to teach...?

I don't get that. What has it got to do with anything? If it was the 1890s then fair enough.

Well once i was getting ready for school and i remember lookign at my planner and kinda mumbbling "great(!) ive got [that] teacher 2moro, i hope she isnt here" and my mum heard me and was like u dont wish she's ill or anything do u?! and i was like erm no. then my mum gave me a lecture about teachers in Islam anyway lol. She goes they're realy important and u should respect them and everything, after your parents they are the most important, or something along those lines...

There seems to be plenty of support for that teacher from students past and present - a popular person.
Weird.
