That’s such horrible behaviour from a ‘professional’. This is something those children may remember forever

That’s not an excuse to do that to kids!!

I’m sure there are better ways than to tape a child’s lips together – however I’m sure they won’t say those words in front of that teacher ever again!

If she couldn’t come up with a better way to handle two four year Olds speaking rue words then she shouldn’t be teaching children. There’s no excuse for this. None.

I couldn’t imagine doing that to a child in my care.

This is awful, that’s clearly not the solution.

This is ridiculous poor little ones to have such a heartless teacher.
She should never be aloud to teach again imagine what else she may have done or could do.

A suspension does not really fix her ability to stop doing things like this. i wonder what else has she done away from the cameras?

  Indeed – that is a scary thought!

Clearly extra training is needed in how to manage children if resorting to this ugly type of act.

I once threatened ti do that to one of mine. I even got the roll of sticky tape out. She was being verbally abusive, then trying to blame her siblings what she had done. Babies can’t reach into high cupboards and steal food.

Unbelievable !

This was done to my brother during a school camp when we were kids. Apparently he swore so the lady who ran the school saw this as a good idea. She also paraded him in front of the 3 schools during an assembly. This is such a dangerous thing to do! If the nose becomes blocked it can become fatal as you can’t let them know you aren’t breathing verbally and I can imagine them preventing the removal of the tape!

Oh goodness. Even if the children were being disruptive, I don’t think this is the way to fix it! I am glad she was suspended

I don’t think teaching is her thing,she needs to find another job

This doesn’t look like the job for her. In my idea she shouldn’t be allowed to teach anymore. A child can die from what she did!!

I’m sorry but suspension is not strong enough for this type of malice towards children – as a teacher I wouldn’t dream of doing this! Let’s hope she doesn’t do it again to anyone.

I’m sure she could have found better ways of dealing with the situation.

I’ve known a few 4 year olds I’d like to do this to. Can’t say I’ve ever lost control and done it though. I also didn’t get into teaching because I know I don’t like kids that much and they deserve better than me as a teacher. I think maybe this teacher should have put a bit more thought into her career choice.

Not the sort of teacher you would want near children!

She doesn’t seem well suited to teaching.
