The kids pull that shit because they know there's precious little the teachers are allowed to do about it. Any situation that arises between a child and a teacher, it's the teacher that gets the hairy end of the lollipop by default. When I was a kid, physical reprimand from a teacher was still a possibility. We respected that. But, over time, the "oh my god will someone think about the children" pussification army has seen to it that teachers have very limited authority to take action. Of course, parents are still happy to blame them for everything regardless. With that and the shitty pay it must be a really intense calling that makes a person want to become one.
