Hi, teacher here! Yes, many kids deserve to be smacked up side the head. Brutally. Kids are shitty, horrible little fuck faces. They are disrespectful dick bags most of the time.

However, teachers cannot smack their students whenever they want to, or when the kid deserves it. This is because students need better reinforcement than that. They need a better example of behavior. They need someone to show them what respect and tolerance means. They need someone to show them patience and understanding. They need something good in their lives.

Most kids, especially those who behave poorly, have shitty parents who either treat them like garbage or indulge them. While the short time that a teacher has these kids in their room won't undo a lifetime of crappy patenting, we can do whatever we can. That means mastering the art of patience and demonstrating control at all times.
