Teacher under review for putting "cone of shame" on misbehaving students

[codinghorror]

Any “dunce cap” is basically giving someone a reward for misbehaving. As previously explained:

Yes, it’s technically obscured, but the dunce cap works both ways. An elementary school teacher once posted on one of the Stack Exchange sites that in an effort to get her class to behave she started writing the names of misbehaving children on the board. This wasn’t working as well as she hoped. Then she switched to writing all the names of the children on the board (small class, I guess) and erasing the names of those who misbehaved. Guess what suddenly started working like gangbusters?
