SALT LAKE CITY (KRON) — The mother of a Utah boy said a teacher duct-taped his mouth for talking in class, and a district official believes he may not have been the only student.
Tara Dimoh’s 12-year-old son and his classmates could not stop talking about their excitement for summer break, she said. So during class, his teacher brought him a piece of duct tape and instructed him to place it over his mouth.
And it turns out this wasn’t the first student to receive the unusual punishment.
The teacher has since been placed on administrative leave, but it is too early in the investigation to tell what consequences will be faced.
