In school we are not allowed to send out of class a student if he/she is disturbing the lesson, we don't have detention, we can suspend or expelled a student for bad behaviour (like drugs, beating, sex) but only after a council decide this.
But in most cases this doesn't resolve the problem, because we don't have the support from the parents. For the student, this is only another holiday.
If they are expelled, their parents will sue the school and the student eventualy will come back to school (because the law says that it is mandatory to finish 10 grade.)
Few months ago, one of my collegue was slaped several times by a pupil, in class The result.... the teacher was faired because she also hit the pupil, the parents had to pay 100$ fee, the parents sued the school and he will be student again at the same school in the next year. Sorry, I don't say that I agree with the corporal punishemnt in school, but in this cases I will hit as well because I believe that I have the right to defend myself.
As a child, I was never punished, grounded, beated, yelled by my parents, but at school I was punished (including corporal punishment) and I'm OK, I don't hate that teacher, I don't think that he harmed me in any way, I learned my lesson and I respect him for that.
