Sellotape At School

[Matheous-2]

Can't believe the school incident hasn't been discussed here!

Does anyone feel the teacher should be sacked for doing this?
I can't help thinking it was a last resort to carry out this foul deed! I suppose she could have gone to the headmaster, but if think she should keep her job.
What do you think?

[black_cat51]

it was the wrong decision. However, who hasn't thought about sellotaping a kids mouth up??
the kids and parents are overreacting in their responses

[ludwig]

I don't think this story deserves all the attention it's getting.

[black_cat51]

agree "my child's mouth was bleeding" "he couldn't breathe" "scared to go back to school" Yeah right!

[woofgang]

The report says that it made some of the childrens' lips bleed....If I was one of the parents I would be calling for her to be sacked too.

[jno]

bleeding lips? If that's true, it must surely count as assault. My parents would have been furious, and so would I if it had happened to jno jnr.

[Prudie]

I'm sure she will be sacked. A crazy thing to do but typical of certain parents to go to the press like baying wolves and allow the daft photos.

[ludwig]

To be honest, it sounds like a person under stress who went a bit nuts.

[AliceTickband]

If a teacher has to resort to this then he/she has no business being in charge of a class at all.

I remember getting caned for losing the end off the roll of Sellotape....the good old days eh?

[humbersloop]

why is this being rehearsed in public when there's an investigation going on?

[black_cat51]

because of the ***** parents!

[Hopkirk]

Black Cat, if it was your child you would be furious

[sherrardk]

If it happened to any of my children I would want her sacked - surely it's a form of assault? I wouldn't, however, go to the press about it.

[chrissa1]

She shouldn't have done it, but the complaints are a bit OTT. My five year old granddaughter has pit Sellotape over my mouth as a joke and it doesn't hurt. As for the bleeding lips, the child's lips must have been dry and chapped in the first place.

[Caribeing]

A sticky situation!!

[DTCwordfan]

An 'open and shut' case I would say.....Dismissal

[Peter Pedant]

Yes ! and the Headmaster's secretary said to the inquisitive media

The Head cant comment: his lips are sealed....

[Peter Pedant]

Everyone knows Art has to be done in silence

Barbara Hepworth didnt create her masterpieces in St Ives with a fag between her lips, yakking to the cleaner, did she ?

[jno]

I hope you got that on tape, Peter?

[Peter Pedant]

Yes ! I am tpying this with sealed lips and a bag over my head Jno
