And risk a lawsuit for publically humiliating someone? Or worse?
Make no mistake, there WILL be a lawsuit about this too. Filed against the teacher, the school, school division etc, and whoever else the lawyer they retain to represent them can think of including in a lawsuit.
Cases like this show why we have discipline problems in our schools. Teachers are afraid to show any authority, while students have NO fear of the teachers. I have no doubt teachers are even provoked into doing things that can result in frivolous lawsuits.
Note-That's not to say what this teacher did was correct, because it wasn't. However, with what little information we have for all WE know, cell phones were going off for the past 15 minutes in his class-because he WAS a substitute-he'd had enough and made a bad judgement call. Again, he could very easily have been provoked and now it's HIM who's out of a job.
