Duct tape for education

The news report out of Southern Germany was short-lived but widely distributed: two or three educators in a kindergarten had used tape to silence unruly children.

The K-landnews team immediately began to wonder if we had found another creative use of duct tape.

The article did not mention the type of tape employed. As unsatisfying as is may be, we have to believe that the tape in question was plain old Scotch tape.

Tiny mouths don't really need the tear strength of duct tape, and the remorse expressed by the teachers further reinforces our opinion.

So, we will file this education experiment under life's most expansive mishap category: Someone had a really bad day.
