As a highschool student I can say that if any of my teachers were allowed to hit me, and did, I'd hit them back...with a bat.

I agree Mokko. Alot of the youth of today, at least here in America, do not know any boundarys. That's because they have never known any consequence to their actions.
Example: high school students returning from an away sporting event caught drinking and having oral sex on bus.
Actual Consequence: suspension from next sporting event. (The students actually joked about this and considered it a "break" from their "stressfull" schedule. Now that's a joke!!!
Monster Truck consequence: contact police as underage drinking is illeagal. No sports for 1 year. 3 day suspension from school.
Hand-wringers and apologists beware, MT is on a roll!
My apologies, haven't had my coffee yet.
