As Steve said, a person shouldn't be a teacher if they can't handle a child without resorting to this.
How many of you implying that this is okay are actually parents of a child aged 5 or older?

I have 2 kids, one 5 years-old. I don't know about your kids but my 5 year-old is perfectly capable of understanding that you don't hit, kick, punch or destroy property. She knows that people who do those things get punished and sometimes put in jail.
If my 5 year-old was acting violently at school, despite feeling like a bad parent, I would have no problems with them bringing in police to enforce the seriousness of the situation.
I'm a little tired of people defending children as being stupid, incoherent and perfectly innocent. People underestimate children all too often. Which could be partly to blame for children thinking they can get away with anything.
