Orthodox penalty of chatty students

ROME (AFP): A primary school teacher in Sardinia has been suspended after silencing her students by taping their mouths closed or shutting their heads in a small cupboard, a Sardinian daily reported recently.

The teacher's colleagues at the primary school in the town of Decimomannu confirmed her "zero tolerance" discipline policy, corrobating claims made by angry parents, according to the Sardinian Union.

School authorities have launched an inquiry into the incident, the paper added.
