Smithfield Middle School teacher resigns after taping chatty 11-year-old student’s mouth shut
A North Carolina teacher stepped down after a sixth-grade student sent his mother a selfie showing him with tape covering his mouth because he was being too chatty in class — and his shocked parent is now seeking answers over the incident that left her child feeling “humiliated.”
She said her child’s mouth was covered by the tape two or three times by a teacher, which led Webster to alert the school’s principal, LaShunda Faison.Catherine Webster/Facebook The boy also said the teacher, who has yet to be identified, would tape students’ wrists together, Webster told WRAL. “We can confirm that whenever such allegations arise, our administration responds swiftly, by investigating the allegations, and sometimes, by removing staff from classrooms pending completion of a thorough investigation,” the district told WRAL.
