Reply #16: When my friend was in kindergarden....

she wouldn't stop talking in class so the teacher made her stand on a desk in front of the entire class, pull down her pants, and spanked her. Her mother was a ball of fiery and rage (for good reason of course). I don't recall hearing about a lawsuit, but her mom certainly got the teacher fired very quickly. People could hear her screaming at both the Principle and teacher from down the hall.

I have memories of kids getting slapped around in my pre-school and my second grade teacher would threaten to put us over her knee if we misbehaved. My pre-school was eventually shut down for child abuse. It's a crazy, scary world out there and for some lucky unknown reason, I've never been abused by anyone.
