I had a similar experience in 5th grade with a sadistic witch who actually got off on paddling kids...
She'd pull the girls skirts up so the whole class could see their panties while she hit them so hard they jolted from head to toe.
She'd intentionally give so much homework at night that only a handful of kids could get it done (if they set up til the wee hours). That way she had a line of kids every day to beat on.
Years later, even my mother admitted she was puzzled by how much useless work the woman gave us (like copying complete pages of text).
It got to where the room would be full of weeping kids before class even started. One girl started vomiting before class. Finally, I guess the parents, who were extremely old world 'spare the rod' types...even they had enough and went to the principal.
She stopped, but you could tell she was furious about being reigned in. And I heard later, she never taught again after that year.
I hate adults who hit kids. I've seen too many with a glitter in their eye that lets you know that the only thing better for them is sex.

Moonbat.
There is a difference between hitting and spanking. When you are old and feeble and have to depend on one of these little darlins you better hope you get one that was disciplined as a child.
I bet you have little angels right?
