We have two schools of thought around FR. On the one hand we don't want the teachers to touch our kids. On the other hand we want them to stop people who try to touch our kids.

I suppose we could take a vote on this. On the other hand (three hands already eh!) maybe you could give us a solution.

my school of thought it that I want teachers for my children(grandchildren) to be fully invested in my child's well being and while you can't expect a teacher to love each and every one of his/her students, you can expect him/her to care about them...

I want teachers more beholding to the children than to their stupid pitiful and evil union...

I want them to consider their work a VOCATION .....doing good for the betterment of society, not so they can retire early and wealthy....

IOWS...I want the teachers we knew from 40 yrs ago....

if they return to be those kinds of teachers...the ones respected by both students and their parents....then, I say...SMACK AWAY AT DISRUPTIVE KIDS...

Quit outsourcing education.

There are situations where it is appropriate for teachers to use force to protect students and times where they are amoral freaks who abuse students and should be in jail.

That might help you out with any confusion on the matter.
