Florida mom angry over teacher taping daughter’s mouth

Technically speaking, the girl wasn’t hurt and at that age, she should have behaved, and known better, to shut up, when the teacher told her to, and not keep disrupting the class. As for taping the mouth, it had the desired effect, but it could go either way. Perhaps it would have been better to toss the kid out of class. So now we have a Florida mother mad that her 13 year old daughter came home from school, stating that her teacher had put tape over her mouth.

“I came home from a hard day’s work to hear that my daughter had her mouth taped up unwillingly,” said Leah Freel, Fox7News reports.

Jazlyn Freel said that at school on Thursday her teacher placed tape over her mouth to stop her from talking in class. “She asked me to stop talking, and then a couple minutes went by, and I started to talk again, and she came to me and put it on my mouth,” Freel said. “I had to cough, so I took the first piece off, so she went into her desk, and she took another piece out, and she put it on my mouth again.

But it didn’t end there. The teacher alledgedly taped another student’s mouth too, so that’s when the two kids went to the administrator. Freel said that the teacher told her to keep the tape on her mouth, and said that what happened in the classroom stayed in the classroom, and that it was a joke. So the mother then goes to complain at the school, and the teacher is reassigned. Hmm, teacher tries calmly to get the kid to shut up, and she refuses. Mom should teach her daughter respect.

“I hope that this doesn’t happen to any other children,” said the mother. “They are still kids. They need to be protected while we’re not around,” Freel’s mother said. The family said they want an apology from the teacher. “It wasn’t a really good experience, and I hope that it doesn’t happen to anyone else,” Freel said. Fox News

Mom has it wrong here, the daughter should apologize for disrupting the class and showing no respect for her fellow students and the teacher.
