Ann Maguire's highly dangerous teenage killer was described by a psychiatrist as having a "gross lack of empathy for his victim and a degree of callousness rarely seen in clinical practice".
Those who were present when the popular teacher lay dying after fleeing the attacker said she spoke about her children and the fact she was loved.
At the same time, the then-15-year-old calmly sat down at a computer and told fellow pupils: "I stabbed her. Pity she didn't die."
Other students had heard him warn that he was going to attack the Spanish teacher with a knife, but did not take him seriously.

Even when he brandished the 21cm (9in) blade and winked at one classmate, those present may have been mindful of his earlier warning that he would "kill them" if they told.
One schoolboy who witnessed the attack said he remembered sitting "in absolute panic and shock" as the killer repeatedly stabbed the 61-year-old in the neck and back - even punching her at one point.
She fled and he pursued her, before a female staff member helped her into a workroom and blocked the door.
It was clear to the witnesses that the teenager was pleased with what he had done - the boy even said "good times" to horrified pupils as he returned to the classroom.
The boy, who cannot be named, chatted to them "as if nothing had happened", telling them: "Everything I've done is fine and dandy."
He remained remorseless as he underwent psychiatric assessment in the wake of the brutal killing.
He discussed having planned the murder for years in advance, saying "The killing was always on my mind since year eight, the thought of homicide, murdering her."
The teenager had even taken a bottle of Jack Daniels into school on the day of the murder with the intention of "celebrating" his actions.
"I wasn't in shock, I was happy," he later told a psychiatrist.
"I had a sense of pride. I still do."
As the court heard, the fact the boy's family life "was marked by love and support" made his actions all the more "inexplicable".
Prosecuting barrister Paul Greaney QC said: "The murder was committed in public in front of many young people. The damage to those children remains to be seen but it is not difficult to imagine.
"The court would be entitled to conclude that the defendant derived pleasure from the public nature of the killing.
"The prosecution does not accept that this defendant's psychiatric make-up affords any mitigation."
And the teenager's state of mind would also appear to make little difference to the many people who loved and admired Ann Maguire, including her widow, Don.
"I can no longer be a dad, I need Ann," he said, in a statement read out to the court.
"Facing the world is very difficult, days are difficult, special days are especially so. There will be no closure, no end. Present and future are but words."
