A FORMER Woodville Primary School teacher is suing the State Government for his mental problems after an aggressive parent threatened him six years ago.
Raymond John Patton of Altona Meadows told a County Court last week that his mental condition deteriorated after the father of a student threatened to stab him with a screwdriver through the heart in October 2000.
The teacher of 28 years told the court that by April 2002 he was unable to continue teaching.
