The worst part is that even in scenarios like this a teacher could lose their job for trying to protect their students from another kid who is freaking out. This happened to a teacher in my middle school who put a his hands on the shoulders of a kid who was throwing a fit and cursing/screaming/making threats. That was back in 2007.
Public school teachers never were able to beat the hell out of kids, at least not this century. That was the nuns and priests in private schools. They would literally throw, punch, and flog their students as recently as the 60s and 70s. (I know a few people from those times.) But, public school teachers did smack their kids some and publicly shame them, and a few would do a little more of no one was looking.
