When teachers snap...

Teacher Peter Harvey 'beat pupil while shouting die'
He was apparently shouting 'die, die, die' as he beat a student in the head with a dumbbell. Now he's on trial for 'grievous bodily harm with intent'.

UPDATE 4/30/2010: Harvey was acquitted on the charge:

Teacher Peter Harvey cleared of attempting to kill boy
It emerged during the four-day trial that pupils at the school were trying to wind up Harvey so his reaction could be caught on a camcorder being used secretly by a girl in the class.

The footage was then to be passed around the school as a way of "humiliating" the teacher.
