I think there are a lot of ways to discipline a student who is not cooperating with higher athority. However, there are certain limitations, right? Im against any type of physical discipline, its stupid and kids grow up (if it is taken too far) afraid. But then I got thinking, are American's too uptight with the way things are done? Why was using a ruler against a child's hand "ok" back in 50's and now its not? Dont tell me "times change," because some things in life are the same as they were a hundred years ago, as they are today. We're too lenient now, too easily pushed over by government and peer pressure. People do things the way they do for fear of not being liked, or being cast out of the community.
I think in this situation theres too much grey, one cannot form a proper opinion because (IMHO) proper is gone, replaced with domination of societal influence.

You know it wasn't that long ago when teachers used to hit their students with whips and rulers. Whatever the situation was, it was child abuse plain and simple. The teachers do not have any right at all to put scotch tape over the boy; why didn't they call the parents? Why didn't they take the boy to the principal office or nurse whatever? Why do they have to take matters into their own hands?
The parents need to take the boy out of that school Period.

If the kid has screaming problems, he shouldn't be in that class in the first place. They should simply place him in some kind of special education program.
I've heard of situations where kids don't do well in school. The deaf program director modifies deaf students' grades when they don't do well in school. For instance, if a deaf student got a 60 in class (This school district only has A, B, C, & F. No D.)... that deaf director will give that student a 70 and add a comment of "grade modified". Well, this student has a learning disability. All the other deaf students in those classes do fine, except for this one. However, this student is given the so-called "equal & fair" opportunity to pass the class and move on. This student later graduates and is now working for his dad for free. It took him 5 years after he graduated before he actually got a job working for his dad. His only earning is to be spoiled by his parents.
There were other students who were not as bright as he was. They put those students in special education classes. Those students math and reading levels were lower than average. They still struggled to get through. Yes, it took them an extra year... but it was worth it. They managed to graduated with grades that they actually earned. Now, they have successful jobs.
If the school had actually put the first guy in a special education class, he would have done better and graduated with what he actually earned. Then, he would have learned how to actually get a job. Being "equal & fair" to students, regardless of their mental or physical limits, isn't always appropriate. They should be evaluated and placed in the right place. If the world wanted to be fair with everyone, we'd have a Harrison Bergeron on our hands!
