A teacher in Prince George's County is free on bond after allegedly stabbing a student with a pair of scissors. (Sweet – thank god they didn’t use such force when I was in school)
Police and school officials said the incident happened Wednesday at the Oxon Hill High School in Oxon Hill, Md. (not surprising – PG County in the HIZZOUSE!)
Some students said it all began with horseplay between the teacher, 34-year-old Sean Tape, and a 15-year-old student. But authorities said the horseplay turned to anger and witnesses said Tape purposely cut the student on the arm. ( I wonder if he taught Art)
"There was blood everywhere," one student told News4. "He took his T-shirt off and wrapped it around his arm and the T-shirt got soaked." (Apparently they were not safety scissors like the ones in elementary school)
The student was treated by the school nurse and then taken to a hospital where he received eight stitches. Tape was arrested and charged with second-degree assault and posted a $1,000 bond. (There goes his summer salary)
On campus, Tape is said to be popular and liked by faculty and kids, and some students refuse to believe the attack was malicious. (Lets contemplate this…..scissors are to stab as attack is to harmless??? - I don’t think you will find that in the SAT’s)
Lleah Sturdivant told News4, "Everybody always plays with Mr. Tape and they joke around and so he was playing back and they were playing with him and he was like, back up, back up or I'm going to slice you, and when the boy moved forward, he moved forward too and it just cut him." (WHY on earth was he brandishing scissors- someone please explain this to me- I wanna know if he was a damn art teacher!)
School administrators released a statement that read in part, "Effective immediately, the teacher will be separated from the student population ... ( and placed in the school holding cell until further notice) Our investigation will determine what actions are appropriate." (ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Appropriate?- this is what you deal with in PG County – when its obvious and right there in front of you- HA)
A school spokesman said Tape will not be fired at this point or even put on paid administrative leave. (I.E. – Early summer vacation) Instead, he will report to a different job site Thursday morning. ( and practice stabbing teachers next)
