Quote of the Day

People have different methods of teaching with the goal being to immerse students in the subject matter. Here’s one that won’t work: Following hte lead of British teacher Peter Harvey and bashing your student in the head with a dumbbell during science class while shouting, “Die, die, die.” Hard to come back from that one.

A science teacher shouted “die, die, die” as he bludgeoned one of his pupils about the head with a dumbbell during a lesson, a court has heard.

Peter Harvey is accused of battering the 14-year-old boy as he attempted to regain control of his lesson, which was in a state of “uproar” at All Saints Roman Catholic School in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.

Moments before the 50-year-old launched his attack, the boy was playing volleyball with screwed up bits of paper before sword-fighting with metre-long rulers in a game of “high jinks”.

The class was in chaos, with pupils calling the teacher a “psycho” after he threw out one 14-year-old girl who was messing about with window blinds. She stormed out crying, calling him a “bald-headed bastard” in front of classmates, Nottingham Crown Court was told.
