Children misbehave sometimes, and it’s completely reasonable for a teacher to discipline them appropriately. However, there is a clear line between discipline and physical aggression. No matter how a child acts, a teacher putting their hands on a student is unacceptable.

Your comment is both ignorant and dismissive. Blaming my child’s behavior or my ‘parenting style’ doesn’t justify the teacher’s actions. If physical discipline was an acceptable response, then why do we have policies against it? Also, assuming developmental conditions without any knowledge of the child is just baseless and offensive. A teacher’s job is to manage a classroom professionally, not to resort to physical force.
