A middle school teacher in Oklahoma has been fired after school officials say she put students into her car trunk to run an errand.
Heather Cagle, who taught at Wells Middle School in Catoosa, allegedly packed 11 of her students into her Honda Accord last October for a trip to Walmart for snacks, according to Fox 23. Seven of the kids piled into the backseat, two rode in front, and two 12-year-old girls were locked in the trunk. She did not have parental or school permission for the snack quest.
“It was a terrible mistake,” she told the school board Wednesday. “I didn’t want to hurt anyone. I just wanted to do something nice.”
