Fourth-grader has mouth taped shut by teacher
Filed under: Teens, Health & Safety: Babies, Day Care & Education
This is one of those school stories that make me shudder.
KDKA is reporting the story of 10 year-old Christopher Harosky who had his mouth taped shut by a teacher after the student kept talking after being asked to stop at Charleroi Area Elementary school in Pennsylvania. Parents Sheila and Jeff Harosky say their son "was humiliated when his homeroom teacher taped his mouth shut and made him wear it in the hallway in front of many other kids". The boy suffered an asthma attack as a result.
The boy's parents also say they actually requested this teacher and were pleased until this incident. They have spoken privately with the school board and say they won't let Christopher back in school until the teacher is removed. The school is still investigating the incident but there's still no word on whether the board has decided to sue the teacher. The family is considering legal action if they're not satisfied with the board's decision.

Pam said...I am a teacher in a traditional school in Indiana. The only comment I want to make is that we don't give teachers enough credit or support. I do not agree with what this teacher did. I can see how she might have been driven to do it. I thank the lord every day to have terrific administrators that back me up. I deal with children that come to us far behind their peers, most from inner city, poverty level homes. They think school is a waste of time and teachers, principals, and the police are the enemy. There have been days that I have felt like taping a mouth or too. I never would though, it is just NOT a thing I would ever DO. Think yes, do no.
