Noisy school kids have mouths taped

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian educational authorities are investigating claims that noisy school children had had their mouths taped shut to keep them quiet, officials said Tuesday.

Police said the children, from a Catholic primary school at Wollongong, about 50 miles south of Sydney, had been at rehearsals for a school concert when a volunteer working in the school hall asked them to be quiet.

When the noise continued, the unidentified volunteer then cut up 20 pieces of masking tape and told the children to put them on their mouths.

Police investigated the incident after the parents of one of the children complained but said it was unlikely they would take any further action.

The New South Wales (NSW) state Catholic Education Office is conducting its own investigation, NSW Education Minister Carmel Tebbutt said.

"If the incident occurred as it is reported, it is very, very concerning," Tebbutt told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio.

Bollocks to that!

I'd have used a staple gun followed by epoxy glue if the noise didn't stop!

Some of that glue that seals under water. Then you could stick their little heads in a toilet bowl and flush and say it's for their own good.

Personally I believe that all kids should be set in concrete up to their ankles till they either grow up or stop wriggling.

Upside down of course!
