Taping the kid's mouth shut is taking it a little far, but I suppose that it's acceptable under some circumstances. Sitting on him and holding his nose closed, on the other hand, is definately crossing the line. You just don't do that, period. The last part is also why I think their resignation was the right thing to do.
As to whose fault it actually was, I imagine the boy was a real pest for the teachers to act like that. You could say that therefore it was the parents' fault, but you really don't know that much about the situation to judge it properly.
