Are they handing out duct tape at all the mean teacher conventions or something? Months after a Louisiana sub was accused of binding a child's mouth with duct tape, outrage is bubbling over similar allegations in Akron, Ohio. Middle school math teacher Melissa Cairns has been put on leave after reportedly posting a photo on her personal Facebook page of her duct-tape-muzzled students with the caption, "Finally found a way to get them to be quiet!!!" A colleague reported the pic to her supervisor, and now the Akron Public Schools Board of Education wants her fired. Well, at least she's not firing blanks at her students. [Source]
