I don’t think a belt is needed, but the parents should be held responsible for children brawling in school.
Instead make the kids and parents pay a couple of thousand out of their pockets for parenting classes.
PS: When I grew up in the days of the dinosaurs the parents would occasionally use a belt or a shoe if we were bad.
We survived; we came to school ready to be students and no fighting ever happened in a classroom.
You're thinking like a White man. These kids most likely don't have parents.
In situations such as this the teacher is in a tough position. The situation I was in, teachers are supposed to call the office to get security. If the office doesn't answer, there are less good options. The teacher is not supposed to get involved.
But you know what? If there's a situation where students who aren't able to defend themselves are being attacked, it's dangerous (chairs and books being thrown around etc), and there's no way to get help, the teacher's the only authority figure. Any teacher worth their salt will risk their career and do what it takes to stop injury of those not involved.
I don't know if that's the case in this situation, but it happens. If the belt is the only thing the thugs understand, I applaud the teacher. And hope he finds another career.
“Instead make the kids and parents pay a couple of thousand out of their pockets for parenting classes.”
Surely you jest. The single parent mothers have not paid anything for our future criminals since their conception. You, the taxpayer, have paid for pre-natal care (if she bothered to go), the birth, food, clothing, rent, medical care and ObamaPhones for the brood. If she knows who the fathers are, most of them are in prison, where we are paying more big bucks to keep them locked up as they serve their series of sentences.
The curse of slavery is a burden on generation after generation of Whites in this country, though 99% of our ancestors never owned slaves in the South.
We are so stupid to keep paying for the sins of 300 years ago, but what a racket for those in the Gibsmedat tribe.

You are right. He should have used a Lead filled pipe.

I got no problem with this. I got whupped with a belt, a hair brush, a ruler, a yardstick, a spatula, the back of a hand and the front of the hand. I was terribly affected. I stopped doing the bad or dangerous behavior. And I grew up to be a college educated father of five, president of my company and all around good citizen.
Before there was a threat of pain, I was scolded, yelled at, sent to bed, missed desert, grounded, and ridiculed. Of course that never stopped me. But the belt sure did.
Frankly, I never really hit my kids. One because I had 4 girls and only one boy. And secondly because the threat of hitting them was often enough. I did pinch my daughter after she pinched her younger siblings numerous times. I though she should understand how it felt. And I did spank a kid for putting a paperclip in an outlet. I figured that one could not happen again. But that was all I remember.
Time outs seemed to work best for us. And we simply got madder than our kids. The belt never came out but they never knew what we might do.
