Mom kills teacher in front of class

The mother of a pupil at a French preschool stabbed a teacher to death in front of her class Friday, the last day of the school year, authorities said. The education minister said the mother apparently had “serious psychiatric problems,” and pledged support for teachers in the face of angry or violent parents. Police said the mother was taken into custody. The stabbing in front of a class of five- and six-year-olds raised concern at the highest levels. French President Francois Hollande expressed outrage rage at the attack at the school in Albi in southern France.
