    ===================================================

    Both you and your principal are in need of psychological
    help. The scene you describe above is fraught with possible
    very dangerous legal action and very likely serious injury
    to your other students. When one of the other students is
    badly hurt, the parent's lawyer's question will certainly
    be "What did you and the Principal do about this?" Your
    answer will be, "We made notes." You and he both will be
    sued.

    As another here has suggested, talk to your union, and
    with or without their help, put this "student" out of your
    room and keep him out.
