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

I'm going to anticipate KKK here and say, why the fuck didn't the teacher nail the kid to his desk?

Teacher should've put a dress on the kid before taping him up

He's lucky Rob Feinstein isn't his teacher.

I know what I would have done....BREATHE THROUGH MY NOSE!!

 

Not to mention the fact that a fourteen year old should NOT be in the seventh grade.

The fact that he apparently didn't do that proves to me that not only should this kid still be in seventh grade but he needs to be in the special Ed class. I still feel kind of bad for him though since I know what it's like to have attention deficit dis

Actually I was going to go "OMG he has ADD -- the little kiddie should have his own room in that school!!!!"

 

Sorry to disappoint.

 

He wasn't being mean. He was just being ornery.

 

Fuck you buddy -- years ago when I worked at an arcade I kicked this mallrat out for misbehaving and giving me a bad attitude. His mommy came in later and said that he has ADD and can't help himself. I laughed at her...

You mean you turned 14 during freshman year? If so, me too. Go figure, handful of double-promoted people here.

I knew a 14/15-year old in Sixth Grade.

 

He was headed to big and beautiful things...

When I started 9th grade, I was 13, I turned 14 that December. I began College at 17 to the amazement of my classmates.

Well I was fourteen in Gr.9 as well, since my birthday is in September. Some people are just stupid in that they try to make it like they're a year younger. I will be Seventeen when I start university too....for about two weeks.

I was 17 when I entered college as well for three or four months before my 18th b-day.

 

Also, they made the teacher resign over this?

You know what, it's time we unleash the Nuns on these kids and unleash the pitbulls on the parents.

 

Parents WANT their kids to learn discipline in school and then when the teachers try they cry "DON'T TOUCH MY BABY! HE'S SWEET AND PURE!"

 

Teachers should have a "release the hounds" button to press for parent-teacher night and let the dog maull the kids and the mother/father.
