Feedback at 5:00 -- "Cone of Shame"

Posted: Updated:

We have all heard of school behavioral punishments like the dunce cap, writing sentences over and over, or being sent to detention.

But now, a Florida high school teacher is the one in trouble. She was fired after pictures of her students wearing a plastic dog cone surfaced on Facebook.

The science teacher says she used the "Cone of Shame" as punishment when students were late for class.

At least one student said it was fun, and not meant to embarrass anyone. The teacher says it was all meant as a joke.

The teacher is appealing the school's decision to let her go.

For tonight's "Feedback at 5:00", do you think the teacher should get her job back?

Post your comments here and you could see them on the air tonight on 9&10 News at 5:00.
