How do you feel about this, and how do you feel about it being revealed on Facebook? A Zephyrhills High School teacher could be fired after she decided to discipline students by having them wear a cone-shaped collar you usually see on dogs. Superintendent Heather Fiorentino has recommended the Pasco County School Board fire science teacher Laurie Bailey-Cutkomp. The students who posted the photos on Facebook called it as the "cone of shame," a name inspired by the Disney movie "Up."
