I don't agree with how the teacher handled the situation, but it's about time kids are receiving the proper discipline they need.  I am sick and tired of children running the parents instead of the parents being in charge.  In one sense I applaud what she did, kids need to have fear of their parents installed into them, and society today wants to coo and coddle them.  Just like the old saying goes, "I brought you into this world and I can take you back out".  KIDS NEED DISCIPLINE, however not by a teacher but a parent who obviously isn't doing her job correctly!
