An Indiana teacher's aide has been fired after stapling a Post-it note to a fourth grader's head.
On Monday, the 9-year-old student at Jefferson Elementary went to the nurse's office complaining that her head hurt.
The school says the girl stuck a Post-it note to her forehead and, when she was ordered to remove it and did not, the aide stapled it to her head.
The aide was fired that afternoon.
"I don't believe it was a malicious act but anytime a student is injured our number one concern at school is the safety of the students, and that trust was broken and that person is no longer employed with us," says Principal Bob Remenih at Jefferson Elementary.
The fourth grader is back in school.
Her parents say she received a tetanus shot as a precaution.
