It's been awhile since I've been in an American elementary school, but I can't help but think that the picking up and whapping with flashcards wouldn't go over so well. It sort of a ripple effect of a country's overall (reported and prosecuted) crime against children rate, I suppose.

Also, re: being a wuss: when I worked at the high school of eternal chaos, quite a few kids figured out that if they really really really didn't feel like going to whatever class and could come up with a semi-logical reason why not, then I was the person to come to. Two minutes of whining, maximum, and I would give in ("Alright, goddamnit. Go get your stuff, don't let anyone with actual authority see you") and let them spend the classtime hanging out in our office. Given the myriad of ways I avoided class in high school I'd have felt like a hypocrite otherwise, and teenagers can sense weakness.
