When you do something wrong, you should feel bad about it and accept there are going to be repercussions. This is called a consequence, and without experiencing that negative stimulus, how on earth are you going to learn not to do it again? Still, the punishment needs to fit the crime, and making a public display when a young child makes a mistake isn't really the way to go about it. Ironically, this teacher hasn't learned her own intended lesson, as evidenced by the fact that she doesn't feel at all bad about the possibility that she took things too far and is refusing to even consider accepting the feedback or responsibility.
While the ripping of the tests is unnecessary, you can just see why these kids thought they could get away with cheating in the first place and they're going to continue growing up to be entitled brats if their parents really care more about the fact that they were "embarrassed" than the fact that they were cheating… I hope their parents still gave the kids a talking-to as well because those who live in a world without consequence will one day just be another entitled adult flouting the rules.
