How is this type of punishment worse than a spanking. First off they aren't even the parents and if a child came to school with these scares or bruises then CPS would be called. This is assault and anyone teacher practicing this method should be fired. What gives them the right to hurt children. Disrespectful and I hope this isn't a race issue.Parents press charges makes noise protect your children.If you dont stand up for them who will. They are innocent this breaks my heart. God bless these children.
