[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2807452, member: 796"] Depends on the state law and school policy. In general in the majority of schools, teachers are not allowed to use physical force on a student. Good way to lose your job, get sued, and ruin your life. Several years ago, I was called into an instructors meeting at WOSC in Altus and given a draft instructors rule book. I quickly read it, and when asked if there were any questions, asked if the WOSC legal counsel had coordinated on the draft. They had not, and they subsequently required the draft rule book to be completely rewritten to conform to Oklahoma law. Teachers must be trained and specifically authorized to lay hands on a student, and only a few of us had any training from anywhere on medical or other physical emergencies. I encounter people daily who do not understand the extreme restrictions put on teachers and how little leeway they have, particularly teaching high school and below. That was the main reason I declined a high school teaching job after retiring from the military, that and the fact that high school teachers are not allowed to give fair grades commensurate with the accomplishments of the students, which I can still do in Junior College (a 50% grade is going to be an F, not a phoney D and a plea to do better).
