One of my teachers said to a little brat; "ask yourself... how are you going to pick your teeth up, when I've broken both your arms".
Harsh but fair, I think you'll agree.
Yes - we had teachers who would say things like that, but usually in "jest" rather than actual anger. It worked though; there was tremendous respect for all our teachers....who were virtually all male.
