At Whitehead Road Elementary School in Athens, Georgia a paraprofessional has been put on leave after placing packaging tape over a student’s mouth. While the incident was immediately reported by the classroom teacher, according to The Huffington Post, the state of Georgia is one of 19 states that still allow corporal punishment in its schools. The incident, which allegedly took place because the student would not stop talking, is one that Clark Country Superintendent of Schools, Philip Lanoue, says is not allowed at the elementary school.
