Peter Harvey was arrested after the incident on Wednesday at All Saints' Roman Catholic School in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.
He is also being questioned about alleged attacks on two other schoolchildren.
Parents at the school gates said the 14-year-old boy, named as Jack Waterhouse. was allegedly hit with a weight which left him with serious head injuries.
One father said: "It's a massive shock and very sad because if there is something wrong with the teacher it cannot be totally his fault."
Claire Tonks, 23, who was dropping her nephew at the school said: "It's a good school and I can't believe it as it could have been my nephew."
A 48-year-old grandmother added: "The teacher has got to have been pushed to do it because he stands to lose his job."
Chris Holmes, 19, a semi-pro wrestler and former pupil at the school, said: "I'm shocked. He was an all right teacher and a decent guy."
He added: "He was not one of those guys where you would go 'Oh no, I've got him next'.

Wow..
Schools being safe is really, really a big deal that even I have been asking myself.
You hear all the time about teens being stabbed at schools and shot and all kinds of stuff.
It's horrible! I mean, now the teachers are going wacko?

God I know the teachers and the students are all messed up in the school system during last semester a substitute teacher had been doing things with the students and videotaping it he had been doing it for over a decade. Weird thing was he was a sub at my middle school a few years ago and he seemed like a nice man.
O__O.
OMGOSH, that's so scary!
Well, schools have always had their problems, haven't they though?
I guess this tops what I have heard and read about though.
Glad I don't go to school no more.
Eh, I got into plenty of arguments with teachers, tbh they're always painted as if they can do no wrong, when really they're all hypocrites, or mental, or both, or just excessively overweight, I could go on....
PS; I like Claire's last name.

LOL.
I like her last name too, Tonks x]
But what DROVE the teacher to do it? Was the kid being a douche? Was it misbehaving and/or threatening physical violence? There's got to be more to the story than just that. We just happen to see the OMGPHYSCHOTEACHER! side first.
I'm wondering about that too, Jeni.
What DID happen?
Maybe we can do some more research and see what happened?
