Wow, now this is weird. (Not to mention it sounds really unpleasant to get such a shocking experience.)
I wonder if they get zapped for being too late for class? That would mean that quite a few local students here would get at least 8 zappings a day! They're always too late.

(Don't ask me how.)
I think we're lucky here. Legally, the farthest a teacher may go (and regularly does) is to yell at everyone and make you feel like you're the worst piece of dung ever to grace the planet.
