I saw in ninth grade the biggest kid in the ninth grade class go after a teacher.......the teacher picked him up and banged his head repeatedly against a locker, and did not stop until this bully was crying like a baby. I saw in my junior year the baddest asz in the school ridiculing a teacher in class and this little guy came over and slapped him silly and he began crying like a baby.......but the rest of the year, he didn't bother any other teachers and actually became a pretty good student. I found out later in life that the kid had lost his mother when he was five and his father was not there for the kid......the teachers did not take chit, they could give it back, and they cared about the students. If a teacher struck a student today, they would lose their job.
