Why the uproar over tape? I could see it if she had used staples,but tape?

I have no doubt that special little snowflake never had a sock stuffed it it at his parents home,and that's why the little SOB has no manners now.

"Special little snowflake" you call them? If their parents had been doing this, the kid would be taken away from them by social services. And the teacher doing this or allowing the students to participate in doing this act, needs to be investigated. That teacher needs to be fired! Teachers cannot hit their students, tape their mouths, or touch in inappropriate ways. If that child was out of control or misbehaving the teacher should have sent the child to the principal's office to be dealt with. But taking matters into their own hands makes them criminally liable.

You must have been born in the 70's. Nobody else swallows that nonsense.

And you must've been born in the early 1900's where it was permissible for teachers to hit their students which is now actually outlawed in most states.

WAHHHHHHH! WAHHHHHHH!

And you must be a shithead from the 70's that thinks using that time to have your personal little hissy-fit is more important than using that time to actually educate the other students.

Educating children is one thing but resorting to forms of personal mockery and such abuse at hitting them is not my style. I don't believe in hitting children at all. If a child is acting up or being disruptive in the classroom, either make attempts to communicate with them verbally or send them to the principal's office.

What,no "wishing upon a star"?

I recall when I was in seventh or eighth grade, a boy in our class was kinda mouthy to the science teacher. And she would get very annoyed if any of us were slouching in our seats. Posture was her pet peeve. Well, this kid was a world-class sloucher.

So she had a board in the office and some rope. As she lectured us all on the importance of good posture, she first tied that board to the kid's back to force him to sit straight. Then she tied the board to the seat back of the desk. When she got done, there was no slouching left for him to do. After that day, she only had to tell him that his posture was poor and he'd straighten right up. He did, of course, still slouch in other classes. He grew up to some kind of druggie with bad posture, a classic PK.

My dad once told me of a kid in his class that mouthed off to the shop teacher one day. The shop teacher was a very tiny man but he just walked up, grabbed him by the lapels and slapped him hard across the face 30-40 times while telling him and the rest of the class that he would tolerate no backtalk and no disrespect from them. No more mouthiness in shop class by anyone. My dad still laughed about it 50 years later.
