Teacher Who Taped Student to Desk Resigns
ORAN, Mo. (AP) - A teacher resigned last month after duct-taping a misbehaving seventh-grader to his desk and covering his mouth with tape, the school superintendent said Wednesday.
The parents of 14-year-old Tommy Brindley said the boy nearly suffocated before freeing himself about 15 minutes later.
It happened Feb. 19 at the elementary-middle school in Oran, a town of about 1,000 residents 120 miles south of St. Louis.
Tommy was in detention for being late to school three times, said his father, Larry Brindley. He began acting up during detention.
``He has attention deficit disorder, and he was misbehaving,'' Brindley said. ``He had some kind of a sponge and was throwing it. He wasn't being mean. He was just being ornery.''
The teacher, a 21-year veteran of the district, ``just kind of snapped,'' Brindley said.
Superintendent Tom Anderson said the teacher, whose name was not released, directed two other students to help her tape Tommy to his desk.
The family is still considering pursuing criminal charges and a lawsuit, Brindley said. Police did not immediately return a call.

That's funny, because at my high school, there's a class where the teacher will wrestle with students in the middle of the room on occasion... I remember when we teaching knots, one kid was used as a "demonstration". We got him onto the floor and hogtied him, then stood up and said, "And that's how you tie a square knot."
I've got pictures of it somewhere. I'll see if I can find them.

one of my gym teachers should have had his ass kicked. he was pretty young and always competing like he had something to prove against the kids themselves, he goes, gets in a arguement with a kid, places his hands on both sides of his head and lifts the kid off the ground by his head while yelling at him. the kid doesnt say **** to his parents because he thought he was out of line for starting **** witht he teacher and we didnt say **** to anybody because we didnt like the kid. to this day that could have been a very bad lawsuit/media spectacle.
on the flip side all things considered i have personally got into a yelling fight with my 2nd favorite teacher and two of my other favs snapped and went off on the class simply because they cared and we needed it. if they care enough to break the rules they either love yah or hate yah. in this case it was the former.
the kid who was taped to the desk needs a good ol fashioned ass beating. out here we have police at all the schools or security, theyd just call em in and if he gets to out of hand theyd hog tie the little ****ers ass. some schools however arent fubar and dont have security means of dealing with undisciplined brats.

One time in high school there was this notorious troublemaker. I interrupted his 'bullying/hazing/chokehold' of some freshman. For a week straight I listened to him tell everyone how he was going to kick my ass. At the end of the week I beat the **** out of him. After that teachers would 'high-five' me when they passed me in the hall. Good times. :D

How would you know Joe? Has she tied you up before? :lol:
Well if I was that kid's parent I would do three things. 1) beat that kid's ass for making his teacher mad enough to pull this stunt - that is first priority 2) get some damned help - kids that are this out of line have an underlying problem to be dealt with - but only after the ass-kicking 3) sue the **** out of that school - what that lady did is criminal - so I would sue ONLY if the DA would not file state charges - then if he did not I'd sue in fed court and take that school to the cleaners - then donate the judgment to the school - that crap is really stupid - teachers are ADULTS and should know better.
Ok - now that we are telling high school stories here is a great one where a kid turned the table on a idiot teacher.
Year - 1985 - I am freshman in HS and I have English from 2:15-3:00. Our high school is one level - teachers park in front - students in the back. English class windows face the front and the distance from the bottom sill to ground is about 2 feet - no problem to jump out.
So we are sitting in English late in the spring and our teacher - Mrs. McRee is about 80 - no kidding they had to make her retire. The scene is very similar to "anyone" in Ferris Bueller.
anyway this guy named Terry Martin who is now gracing the halls of the TN state penetentiary (no ****) is sitting behind me. The football players have football this last period of the day and are running laps around the school. Terry taps me on the shoulder and says "Think I can jump out the window, run around the building, and get back in without getting caught?"
I say go ahead. He does it - jumps out runs around the school which takes like 3-5 minutes total and climbs back in. Mrs. McRee never looked up or broke stride and Terry sprinted into the annals of Milan High School urban lore. That was a highlight of my high school experience.
Wonder what this teacher woudl have done to Terry - stapled his feet to the desk?

Schools...........just one big pile of bull**** these days.
The value one derives from their schooling is generally directly proportional to the amount of effort they put into it.
My school was just ranked 63/63 in the province.
If most of the students have the same attitude towards school as you do, it's no wonder that the school is at the bottom of the barrel.
Ive managed to my half of my classes gym next year and still graduate possibly half a year early. :(
Perhaps you should consider taking some additional classes in English.
