I would invite the people who favor the use of force in situations of this sort to consider what action they would take if they were dealing with similar misbehavior by their own child in their own home. Would you do what Fields did? Would you do any of the other things that have been postulated in this thread?

Absolutely. If a kid is sulking, let 'em sulk. See if there's something to talk about later.

If the girl in South Carolina wasn't acting out any more than has come out so far, there was nothing in the way of going on teaching, except the teacher's own case of ass. The escalation is what totally disrupted the class, not the girl.
