It's yet another news story about adult school employees doing something else to help launch another kid into endless years of future therapy.
Allegedly, two Florida "classroom employees" -( no one will reveal whether or not they are teachers)- were unable to get a classroom full of hyper first-graders under the proper control. So, how did they decide to conquer this particular problem? Why, by strapping a little 7-year-old tot into a chair and then putting tape over her little mouth, of course.
What was the next step, to put bamboo shoots under her tiny little fingernails?
Once school officials were alerted about this suspected infraction, they pulled the two "adult employees" out of their classrooms and say that an investigation is underway. Law enforcement is involved, as well, with finding out exactly what transpired.
My question is...who hired these two individuals? If you can't control a room full of 7-years-olds, why are you even in the teaching profession? How they determined that treating a child as though she were a POW was an appropriate means of discipline is unbelievable!
There really are a lot of good teachers out there who do a super job with kids, but these two sadistic wretches aren't among them.
