I have a different take on the issue of mainstreaming and teachers being unable to do anything about violent autards. Let's discuss.
Teachers are mandated reporters for child abuse, and many younger ones took the attitude that any corporal punishment is abuse. In the 1970s and 1980s in many jurisdictions they became notorious for calling CPS on parents who dared to spank their kids. Or if a child came to school with a bruise, same story. People got the message that if they don't let their kids do as they wish, the schools would sick the authorities on them. Eventually this mutated into newer parents being opposed to any form of discipline or punishment.
Now teachers are reaping what they sowed in the first place. Autards hit them and run amok, and the teachers can't do anything about it because of the no-punishment policies these same teachers wanted years ago in the first place. Teachers also lobbied to require mainstreaming because it would ensure job security and (supposedly) higher pay from the schools getting more money for the extra kids.
Waaahhh. I have no sympathy.

I myself am not opposed to corporal punishment administered by parents, despite the fact that I saw it abused by my parents when I grew up. It should be rare however. I grew up at the other end of the spectrum. I was afraid of my mom and her vicious temper and she also drank too much on occasion. My siblings and I were routinely popped by my mother when she was angry. She hit my one sister in the mouth and gave her a bloody lip when my sister was about 12. (My sister was probably saying something true that my mom did not want to hear.)

I think that you can effectively discipline your kid in other creative ways. Take away something you know will hurt your kid. Be consistent. Probably the worst part of my childhood was that my mom did not want to deal with us, ever, and every day was a different day. I never knew what to expect. One day all would be good and another day she would fly off the handle at next to nothing. Corporal punishment was pretty common in those days and I think it gave lazy parents a way out.
