MILLBURY, Ohio - Parents have complained to a northwest Ohio school board that a chaperone sealed students in their hotel rooms with duct tape during a high school choir field trip.

Fuck me. Does that really count as news?

We used to do that to each all the time at Uni, along with laxatives in each others food, chilli sauce on the toilet door handle, cling film across doorways and toilets, and bed mattresses being our usual weapons.

Not sure if I'm more angry about the waste of energy in reading that, the fact that it's such a nonsense news item or the fact that someone has gone to the effort to complain.

True, if they are really masking taping up the door ways, yeah, fair do's. Little tape to see if they're sneaking about, SO WHAT!

the tactic panicked her son

I bet he was one of the violators.

Tape on the doors wouldn't have prevented them from escaping in an emergency, so nothing there's nothing they can do about it.

Our doors got taped on my 6th grade trip to D.C.. Its very normal.

Well, as long as they could still get out in an emergency, then I don't really see a problem with it.

Fuck me. Does that really count as news?

Just what I was thinking.

If so, I could easily fill a newspaper with this same kind of stuff, and a hell of a lot worse.

Jesus christ. They put tape on the door to make sure students don't leave their rooms at night. Since they can't restick the tape from inside their rooms. They're not trapped or anything crazy like that!

School board president Timothy Krugh (kroo) told parents the tape was meant to keep students safe.

Safe from who or what?
