Teacher duct-taped Judson ISD student to chair

[TexasTowelie]

A teacher and a teacher's aide resigned from Woodlake Elementary School last week after admitting that they duct-taped a second-grader to his chair because he was being too rambunctious, officials said.

Judson Independent School District spokesman Steve Linscomb said the district was alerted about the incident Thursday afternoon and launched an investigation.

“Those were pretty incredible allegations,” he said.

The teacher and the aide admitted that they restrained the boy with duct tape, and both resigned in lieu of termination, Linscomb said.

1. The school shouldn't have accepted the resignations...

...and fired them for cause. Child abuse, pure and simple. In loco parentis only goes so far. Way beyond the pale.

2. I've been tempted to tape down the three year old grandson at times...

I'm tired!
