Teacher Tapes Student’s Mouth With Duct Tape

13-year-old Jazlyn Freel had her mouth unwillingly sealed with duct tape by an out of control teacher who got tired of listening to her voice after being told to keep quiet.
“She asked me to stop talking, and then a couple minutes went by, and I started to talk again, and she came to me and put it on my mouth,” Jazlyn said. “I had to cough, so I took the first piece off, so she went into her desk, and she took another piece out, and she put it on my mouth again.”
The same teacher also taped another student’s mouth shut, prompting them to complain to an administrator.
Jazlyn’s mother, Leah, isn’t too happy about the way her daughter was treated by the teacher.
In an effort to cover her own ass, the teacher told her students to keep the tape on their mouth, and that what happened in her classroom stayed in her classroom. “It was just a joke,” she said.
The students say they only want an apology from the teacher, but they will not be seeking her job.
