If you had read my earlier posts you would know where I got my information from.
Corporal punishment should be brought back into all secondary schools. When I was a school we had to endure a ruler across the knuckles, slipper across the arse (think my head of year had this as a fetish it was his favourite form of punishment and I was on the receiving end far to often) and the cane, dependant on severity of the alleged infraction it was either across the palm or the backside.
Parents should understand that kids only get this sort of punishment if something warrants it, its ok saying "you touch my kid then you got me to deal with" but what does that show the kid? All it shows is the parent isnt in control of themselves and its ok to retaliate against someone being chastised.
Regardless of the discussions that are going on the teacher was wrong to do what he done, the kid was wrong for also doing what he done and two wrongs dont make a right, everything will come out in the wash.
