— Embarrassing Moments —I’m a 23-year-old woman and I’ve just completed my first year teaching - 5th grade in a suburban elementary school. I’m a very energetic, creative and loving teacher and mid year I promised my students if they read a certain number of books they could tape me with duct tape on the last day of school. They read the books so at 1:00 on the final school day I bravely sat down, put my arms behind the chair and let my enthusiastic kids start taping. They did a very thorough job and after about 10 minutes had me completely taped from my shoulders to my ankles. (I would not have been able to free myself). When they promised to behave and not make a lot of noise I allowed them to put a strip of tape over my mouth. The deal was for thirty minutes and they were really good. They sang, recited some poetry we had learned and went through our daily exercise routine. I had told a teacher friend from next door what we were going to do so when, after fifteen minutes, I heard the door knob click I thought it was her checking up. Nope!
To my utter embarrassment in strode my principal, superintendent and two school board members on a routine visit to the school. My gut response was to explain but I got out one "mmphf" before realizing it wouldn't work. One of my young lady students then stood up and very clearly expressed to our visitors what was going on while I sat there feeling more embarrassed by the second. Our guests smiled and quickly left while I attempted to mumble "thank you, Janie" to the young lady. I sat there (what else could I do?) for the remaining fifteen minutes feeling very self-conscious but determined to be a good sport. At one minute past the agreed upon moment (they wanted to be a little mischievous) two girls came forward and began unwinding the tape, slowly. A short time later school was finished for the summer.
