Texas teacher says she was 'being silly' when mouths taped

WICHITA FALLS, Texas (AP) — A first-grade teacher in Wichita Falls says she was just "being silly" when she let students put duct tape on their mouths to keep them quiet.

The newspaper reported Tuesday that the Zundy Elementary School teacher said she used poor judgment Jan. 21 in allowing the students to tape their mouths shut for a few minutes.
