Teacher uses duct-tape to silence talkative students, parents say

NBC News – A Utah teacher is accused of using duct-tape to silence talkative students at Salt Lake City's Wasatch Junior High School.

Tara Dimoh's 12-year-old son is one of them.

"He told me that the teacher was upset he was talking to somebody during class,"Dimoh said.

"She came over to him and gave him a piece of duct tape and told him he needed it on his face like, 'Here you go,'" Dimoh said.

"It just blew me away," Dimoh said.
