To think it is only a matter of time before something like this happens in a UK classroom.

With the exponential increase in 'aggressive' and sickening behaviour from kids in some schools. It can only be a matter of time before a pupil gets hit by a teacher fearing for their own safety !

Something happened like this a few years ago. A teacher who had been off with depression for a few months hit a boy who had been goading him.

That's horrendous. :(
