Houston Texas Teacher Beats Student

There's something weird about that video. Parts of it look like WWE Wrestling where she looks like she's slapping the kid but clearly not even touching him.
Some kids laughing at a mentally challenged kid and then suddenly she turns on this one student?
I'm going to guess family sues school district and splits money with the teacher that did the "beating".

It has not been removed in Texas and multiple other states. I believe Texas schools still uses it the most times per year.
When I lived in Charlotte, North Carolina a few years back, all of the people moving there from the Northeast were getting sand in their vaginas about North Carolina schools still allowing it.
BS... Smack one of these little bastards a couple of times and they will straighten up. They may hate you but they quit giving you a problem. It worked in my generation. Today's generation thinks all kids with discipline problems have ADD and need counseling. That's just more BS.
You never beat a kid. Never.
Discipline is important, yes. But corporal punishment is nothing but counter-productive.
You can read the psychological literature on "operant conditioning, habit forming, reinforcement learning" and go from there.
Or you can just see it as the abuse of power it is.
Because wether you are a parent or teacher, the kid is utterly dependent of you.
It depends on you for food, shelter, protection, learning, a future.
It is also utterly powerless to do anything on its own, except maybe to piss you off a bit. Physically, it has nothing on you, either.
So it needs to trust in you to put up boundaries, teach it how to behave and protect it when it strays over the limits, and however hard that may be, YOU are the adult, YOU have to be responsible.
To abuse that trust is the worst you can do to a kid.
To make it clear:
I am in NO WAY anti-authoritarian, far from it.
Beating a kid is out of the question however, for parents and teachers or anyone.

For the record, I fully support setting a kid straight as a teacher (maybe not to the extent in that video though). As a freshman in high school I didn't study for a test, and the teacher started to quiz me in front of everyone else. When I clearly showed I didn't study, he drove a yard stick up between my legs (never touched me) and cracked the desk (audibly, not literally). I never didn't study again. Either did anyone else in the class.
I didn't study because he did that, I studied because he missed by accident (to this day I still believe that). And for the record, if I have boys, they're going to school there. Period.

Man, teachers can dress like that these days? Looks like she's going to a punk-rock concert, not a classroom. I mean, look at that belt. Jesus. I don't mean to stereotype people, and I'm going to piss people off, but if I were the principle of that school, I would not allow her to dress like that.
And yeah, it looks like she's just fooling around in the beginning, as she kind of gets in a wresting stance, but then she really starts to beat the hell out of the kid. Not cool.

If you're going to do it and lose your career over it, do it properly.
Drag the kid into a cupboard and pummel his head with a 3kg dumbell...

BTW, I'm in Education. The problem is that heads won't expel the three or four disruptive children that exist in every class. The children don't respond to detention. They have to stay in class because there is nowhere for them to go. Their parents don't do anything to help the school bring their behaviour under control.
The solution to this problem is a two-tier education system. Get the dumb/disruptive children out of academic classes and give them a very low form of education - just reading and writing, some life skills, and menial skills, so they can go flip burgers without affecting the education of the children who would actually learn more if they weren't disrupting the class.
