Teacher Tapes Mouths Shut
Sheryl Smith, a Vigo County substitute teacher got into hot water for taping her students' mouths shut when they wouldn't shut up. Huh.
I gotta say that while the kids might temporarily be quieter with tape on their mouths, speaking from personal experience, it really turns into a badge of honor for those students who get taped. I thought it was hilarious when I had my mouth taped shut by Mrs. Hopping in third grade. Tip for teachers: scotch or masking tape is not your best choice for taping mouths, it comes loose. Try duct tape or, better yet, some pro gaffer tape.
