On a personal level I think the lad deserved what happened to him and probably more, and had the threat of the cane been present he most probably wouldn't have done what he did!
But on a professional level I know that's not an option and even though I think the teacher has snapped (with some justification) he must have known that he would have been likely to have been sacked for acting as he did. I'm not saying I agree with the way things are for people working with young people, but I was pointing out how it is, and the fact that all workers are aware of the rules which they should follow when using restraint.
