AN Australian teacher accused of tying a five-year-old boy to a chair in front of his classmates as punishment for misbehaving has been suspended while the case is investigated, education officials said yesterday.
Police in Western Australia state received a report that the teacher at Avonvale Primary School in Northam, about 100 kilometers northeast of Perth, used a jump rope to tie the child to a chair last week.
The state Education Department's Standards and Integrity unit is investigating, said Eamon Ryan, the unit's director. The teacher, whose name was not released, was suspended immediately.
Education Department Director General Sharyn O'Neill said the teacher's alleged behavior was unacceptable.
Last year, a teacher in the Western Australia town of Kalgoorlie was reprimanded and ordered to get counseling after covering the mouths of nine students with sticky tape to keep them from talking.
