A teacher in Texas was fired after 'torturing' her students by playing a video of a high-pitched dog whistle for 40 minutes to punish them.

The unidentified woman played the YouTube clip at Leland Edge Middle School for an entire period on March 2, leaving students clutching their ears in agony, and accusing them of torture.

It is unclear what the class had done to merit being punished.

The teacher has since been dismissed, with police also probing the incident, as one girl who was in the classroom condemned the teacher's behavior.

Zoey Lohrs told NBC DFW: 'She put on the ringing noise everyone was covering their ears. One of them walked out of the classroom, one of them was yelling that it was torture and one was trying to unplug the computer.'

The TV station also played a noise similar to the one broadcast to the class - a shrill, high-pitched constant whistle so unpleasant that they had to issue a warning to viewers over a broadcast lasting just a few seconds.

Her mother Janice said the teacher's actions are even more unacceptable because she was aware that her daughter has high sensitivity to high pitched noises that leads to migraines.

'I would understand if the teacher used it for a split second to gain the attention of the class but not for the excess of 40 minutes. Not when kids are begging you to stop,' Zoey's mother said.

In a statement to NBC DFW the school district confirmed the teacher was fired and said 'student health, safety and security remains the highest priority for the district.'

School officials are currently questioning students and staff about the incident as police continue their investigation.

Sounded fine to her. She’s a beotch

“That’ll teach you “people” to use the wrong pro-noun in my presence!!” //

[jimtorr]

.....police continue their investigation.

What's to investigate? Blackness vs Whiteness? Regardless of circumstances, if teach did what is alleged, she is guilty of child abuse.

What I don't understand is, if the noise was hurting their ears, why didn't the kids simple leave?

it wouldn't be near as bad as suffering through a lecture on "Social justice", Diversity, Equity and inclusion

or imagine having to endure 40 minutes of "Climate Change theory"

I would take the dog whistle hands down

"One of them walked out of the classroom, one of them was yelling that it was torture and one was trying to unplug the computer.'"

There's hope for Texas at least.

I basically did that last week to a skunk under my house. Put on a youtube of hypersonic rodent repellent and cranked the volume up to 3 times normal. Didn’t bother me, and the skunk left.

Can’t imagine doing that to middle schoolers with a human audible sound...no matter how bad they stink.

[Equine1952]

Or listening to The Five for an hour.

Glad I’m old and my kids are grown. My wife would have went to school and kicked her ass.

They hire insane people to teach nowadays.

Yeah, Mr. Greenblatt used to torture our class in 3rd grade but they let him get away with it.

40 minutes of listening to a hillary lecture? The kids will be scarred for life-

[Bob434]

we had teachers grab kids by the throat- throw then to the ground, punch them etc- seen it happen many times- parents woudl come down to the school and wail the snot out of their kids for ‘forcing the teachers to discipline them’

Was eating lunch in cafeteria one day- fight broke out- the cook- a military dude- jumped over the counter- up on the long tables, ran across the room on the tables- food flying everywhere- and he tackled the kids that were fighting- like something out of WWE

Wait, do I know you?

1965? Sister Dominique's 1st grade class at Sacred Heart Elementary School?

Sister Dominique was the meanest little Irish b*tch this side of Belfast, and had some wrestling moves that would put "Hulk" Hogan to shame. Her favorite was to grab a child's desk - with the child still in it - and knock it over.

Could have had the same result if they played a recording of the Hilldebeest’s or the Kamel’s cackle!

“why didn’t the kids simple leave?”

I am an inquisitive adult, and this ain’t high school level either for it it was, that teacher will get his/her ass kicked. Children at that age middle school, are trained to stay in class or they get a failing grade, and have to follow the “teacher”. IN this case, the teacher is a grade A asshole.

[deek69]

I am curious, I always thought a dog whistle was out the range of human hearing?

[Spktyr]

Many dog training whistles are not.

Decibel Pro
“The Highest Frequency a Child Can Hear
That is the maximum limit of human hearing when it comes to frequency. And since children have very sharp hearing, they are easily able to hear such high-frequency sounds. Adults lose their ability to hear sounds above 15,000 Hz starting at the age of about 25.”

[DannyTN]

I didn’t try Hildebeest’s or Kamel’s cackle on the skunk, because it would probably drive me out first. And any self respecting skunk would have sprayed at the sound.

[raccoonradio]

Article mentioned some kids can get migraine headaches from exposure to some
high frequency noises, and:
“YouTube has multiple whistle type videos, claiming that some of the sounds are so high only a child can hear, and that some are of a different pitch that is only audible to an adult.”
