Video: Schoolteacher puts cello tape on 4-year-old kids’ mouths in class to stop them from talking
Gurugram, Dec 10: The education sector in India is the news recently because of a number of reasons, ranging from treatment of students in schools to their security inside the institutions.
Recently, a CCTV footage surfaced on the social media showing a teacher deliberately putting cello tapes across the mouths of two small kids inside an LKG classroom in a school in Gurugram to make them quiet. The incident took place in October and after the CCTV footage exposed the act, the concerned teacher defended her act saying the kids were disturbing the entire class and she had to shut them since they were using "filthy language", said an Inuth report. Well, four-year-old kids using "filthy language?"
