When I was in the 6th grade, there was this male teacher. We had 3 sixth grade classes and the teachers worked together, dividing subject matters to teach, so each teacher had the right to call on any of the 80 or so students, regardless who your main, homeroom teacher is. That year, the teachers were dead against break dancing. During one recess time, a bunch of guys and some girls were caught break dancing. Now whether you participated by actually doing it or watching, you were called out onto the balcony for discipline. I was sitting in the classroom so I didn't witness it, but a friend of mine was outside so he retold what happened. The teacher lined all the guilty students in a row and started one end and slapped them down the row.
That teacher was known to slap any students for talking back too. The following year, he transferred to teaching fourth graders and I heard he hit them too. This was the early 80's. I'm not sure if he got into trouble for his disciplining techniques.
