> Starting in August 2027, they will be allowed to 'hold a student, keep them in place, or take them to another room' if the student disrupts the class.
Far from what I imagined as 'physical force'.

Primed by discussions of Americans on corporal punishment of children, I expected much much worse.

Yeah, using "physical force" in the headline feels extremely dishonest on the part of the publication.

Yeah. The UK for example already allows use of 'reasonable force' to prevent a pupil from committing a criminal offense, prevent personal injury or damage to property, and most ambiguously, to 'maintain good order and discipline in the classroom', which sounds a lot like this.
This headline implies misleadingly that teachers in Denmark are reintroducing the cane or something.

I never had a problem with students having rights. I have a problem with those rights not coming with responsibilities and proper sanctions when those are violated. There should be zero tolerance of students using violence either against the teachers or other students. They should be moved to a reform school immediately.
