Shit, when I was in third grade I used to wander around the room in the middle of class for no discernable reason... as punishment, my teacher exiled me (along with several other misfits) to sit in the coat closet for several months.

Didn't seem all that horrible at the time, and for some reason she sticks out as one of my favorite elementary school teachers. (For other reasons, of course)

Shit yeah that's hot.

In 3rd grade, the resident troublemaker was tasked with cleaning his desk. They were those ones with the large opening at the front that were basically impossible to keep neat and organized.

When he said he was done, she went to look inside the desk. Apparently she wasn't satisfied, because she dumped the entire contents of his desk onto the floor and told him to try again.

I typically have to pay extra for that type of treatment.

Actually, public humiliation should be used as punishment for bad behavior. Taping kids to chairs? Not so much.

I had a babysitter tie me to a chair once. Deserved it too. When my folks got home they gave her an extra tip.

I made another babysitter run howling and racked with sobs out of the house. I was a bad kid. I'm sorry Mindy, wherever you are, and the other one too, whatever your name was.

one of my kidergarten's most traumatic memories is of my teacher telling a classmate that she would tape his mouth shut if he would't stop crying. I was four and I clearly remember thiking "hey, that's WRONG, I am scared of her"

Seriously, it's not like the kid was physically harmed. It sounds no worse than being made to sit in the corner. That mom needs to chill the fuck out.

kinda creeped out that people think taping 9-year-olds up it "hot", but whatever.

Remembered another traumatic punishment memory: In 2nd grade, a classmate had a problem with spitting... so the teacher made him stand in the corner and fill up a glass with his spit, then drink it.

it leaves me wondering: for how long? wish the journalist had bothered to ask.

But did she leave him alone? That's the real question here.

@9,

Man, that's almost as bad as parents hitting their children to get the kids to stop crying. I have never seen that work. Idiots.

When my mom was in kindergarten, her teacher wouldn't let her go to the bathroom until she asked in perfect English and actually made my mom stand in the corner when she failed to deliver. And, she (my mom, not the teacher) inevitably wet herself.

Wow!
I am a single mother with a 14 year old child with ADHD who regularly gets �sent out of the room� because he cannot/will not sit still. I also happen to love to be tied up and even suspended in my personal life. However, I do not think tying or taping children to a chair is proper discipline for students and I certainly don't think this teacher should be allowed to teach. I think teachers should have more rights than they do about disciplining the students...but tying them up is not an option! Come on people, this is not BDSM between two consenting adults; this was, in my opinion, child abuse.
