Can they? At least in the UK you get the stupid "child rights/abuse" nonsense as soon as they try any sort of disciplinary action... Ant the bullies well aware of this situation.
- polymatter 14y agoYes, they can, and the teacher can also get into trouble for not defending children too. Some bullies when they are 15 can be terrifying which is I think the real reason teachers don't confront them. The bullies aren't criminal masterminds and legal experts, they just claim foul on all discipline.
- rytis 14y agoI think you're right on both points: yes, teachers can apply reasonable force [1], but as you said, teachers might not actually be physically able to restrain them without a risk.
