Two Dekalb County teachers have resigned after allegations emerged they used ‘zip ties’ to tie the hands of students as young as four behind their backs as a form of punishment.<\/p>\n

According to Atlanta new station WSB-TV 2, the incident occurred at Oak View Elementary in Dekalb County on Monday of last week.<\/p>\n

It was reported that the school sent out a letter to parents regarding the incident after a parent called the school to complain. The letter reportedly informed parents the teachers involved had been suspended pending an investigation.<\/p>\n

The teachers then resigned from their roles on Friday.<\/p>\n

The young students also told their parents that the teachers threatened to throw spiders on them as another form of punishment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
