The URL is a little presumptuous - the kid isn't dead. Yet.
Here's the thing though: It's unlikely that the teacher was just batshit insane. I'm guessing here, that there's been more bullying in the classroom - of the student-to-teacher kind.
So although I don't think "the kid got what he deserved" or anything, it should serve as a warning to parents and kids alike: teachers often have to put up with crap over and above the work they're meant to do. So be aware that both a teacher or a postal worker could just snap at any moment. It's unlikely they'll beat someone to death with a perfectly calibrated 10 newton weight, but everyone will let off steam one way or another.
Gotta wonder what was going through the teacher's head though.
