A teacher in Jacksonville, Florida got a 10-day suspension for duct taping a middle school boy to his desk. This is not the first time I have heard of such a story and frankly I can see both sides of this one. As a parent, I would be really annoyed if someone duct taped my child to his desk. On the other hand, since my children are very much like there father, I can imagine a situation that might warrant such action. As a former teacher, I can definitely understand why a teacher may want to do this sort of thing. I taught high school for several years and all I can say as may God bless all of those who are called to teach middle schoolers. I think that one of those school board members that voted to suspend the teacher should step up and substitue teach the suspended teacher's classes. My suggestion would save the cost of a teacher and would provide invaluable insight for the selected board member. While this is an odd story, it is not odd enough for an award. Still, it is worth a chuckle.
