how would you feel if it was your child ?  if you have any ? im sure you would feel much differently about this matter , and sure the parents are at fault for not spending adequate time with their kids, but not up to the teacher to do it....she might have some mental issues that need to be attended to also.....or she has some anger in her , she needs some counseling or anger management classes.  i know i wouldnt be so forgiving to the teacher if it was my kids....i know everyone makes mistakes but thats one that is very big to me.....just hope she doesnt do it again to someones elses kids??  she might ....
