TERRE HAUTE, IND. - The Tribune-Star reported that a local substitute teacher put small pieces of tape across the mouths of first-graders because they would not stop talking. Sheryl Smith was fired by Vigo County schools officials after parents told them that she had taped six children's mouths at Fuqua Elementary School. "A substitute teacher used extremely poor judgment," said John Orr, director of human resources. Smith had put the tape on vertically, and it did not cover the children's mouths, although they could not talk.
