Mom: Substitute teacher duct-taped kid’s mouth shut
link here
Down in Louisiana, a mother is taking legal action against a substitute who has been accused of duct-taping her child’s mouth shut. I’m not sure if they’ve actually proven that the teacher is guilty or not, but I believe the family is pressing charges. I think this article is news because of public concern. The fact that this is going on in the public school system is embarrassing. The mother quoted, “He just told me he didn’t want to go back to school no more.” I think this quote makes the mother/family sound not intelligent. I think for the family’s sake of embarrassment in their grammer I would have rephrased the quote to saying, “He just told me he didn’t want to go back to school ANY more

Why didn’t I ever think of this? Simple. Effective. Inexpensive.
Good comment on the quote. There’s a typo in one of the other quotes. In general, you don’t change quotes. People who know the woman know how she speaks and that the quote was changed.
