Teacher used dog collar to curb bad behavior

Zephyrhills high school teacher, Laurie Bailey-Cutkomp, used dog collar to curb bad behavior | wtsp.com

ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. - They are images stirring controversy: photos of students with dog collars around their necks. The collars are historically used on dogs to prevent them from licking wounds after surgery.

Some see the photos as a harmless joke. Others call it an act of humiliation.

One Pasco County parent said, "I was disgusted, very disgusted. Like I said, that's a human, not an animal. You're not spaying or neutering that person."


The outrage stems from a teacher at a Zephyrhills high school, who's accused of using the collars as a form of punishment. Laurie Bailey-Cutkomp nicknamed the collar "The Cone of Shame," mimicking the Disney movie Up.

Some students thought it was funny. Tanisha Medina is one of them. She told 10 News, "She just did it as a joke and said she was gonna punish us by doing it. But, she asked us first and we were all laughing and joking around."

Documents show the students were curious about the collar after seeing the movie, so the teacher brought it in and eventually used it to curb bad behavior for eight kids in the month of April.

But, parents were furious when the pictures showed up on Facebook. Medina said, "All the parents were commenting on it saying she should get fired, and then she got fired".

If some parents would just try to curb bad behavior stemming from their homes itself - I say discipline at home will probably result in discipline not being necessary at school.

Yo, dog......

But to use this on kids?? That's a bit much. Whatever happened to the Dunce Cap and the stool at the front of the whole class?

C'mon people. It's not like she put this on some black kids neck or something.

Dumba**, humans are animals, and an increasingly large number act that way, too.

Perhaps he doesn't find shame in that.
