Results: Teacher to lose job over duct tape?
An Ohio middle school teacher is currently on unpaid administrative leave because a picture she had taken of her students wearing duct tape on their mouths was seen by another staff member on Facebook. The picture showed the students with duct tape over their mouths and the caption "Finally found a way to get to them to be quiet!". The teacher claims a student asked for duct tape to fix her binder and then ended up putting it over her mouth instead and laughed. Other students joined and asked the teacher to take a picture. Now, the teacher is fighting for her job.

No, most of these kids probably have Facebook or other social media accounts anyway.
