Hi Kashish,
It's a very good question and topic to discuss. Though it was clearly explained by CHR and Simphan, I would like to add my two cents to it:
Corporal punishment is a big NO NO way to teach a lesson to children in school. It's an offense and should not be tolerated at all. The school authorities have taken a good stand on this front. Since the teacher has realized the mistake, she must get the apology letter duly signed by the school authority and parents' consent as well. Take it as a learning experience and move on.
Here is a link to an article which I read on TOI. Take a lesson from it and move on.

Dear Kashish,
We all should praise the Lord as the teacher only lost her job and not her freedom. She could have been in jail for 3 years. The Delhi High Court in 2000 banned Corporal Punishments in schools; other states claim to comply with Delhi HC, yet such cases come to light. The government is still working on a bill for the prevention of children from such offenses. Corporal punishment is considered a violation of Human Rights, and the teacher could have been booked under the same. There are many ways of teaching kids; punishment is not going to make kids disciplined.

Hi Kashish,
Your friend must have understood her mistake, please ask her not to continue it in the future. She can adopt many ways to make a student learn or behave as they are teachers. Kids are more scared of teachers than parents.
Here, she has lost the job, and as one of the members said, it's good if she can write a letter to the kid's parents, an apology letter, and collect an accepted apology letter. She can try for other opportunities with the proof of documents and assure the new company that she will not repeat it in the future.
Best wishes
