MAYNARDVILLE, Tenn. —  A group of Tennessee high school students are in hot water for trying to make a steamy porn movie between classes.

Four female and two male students were punished after a drama teacher caught them filming the flick in a Union County High School classroom.

Wayne Goforth, curriculum coordinator for the school district, told WATE-TV in Knoxville that the female students had stripped down to their underwear for the boys who were acting as the cameraman and emcee.

The drama teacher assigned to the classroom was on hall-monitoring duty, Goforth said.

"Personally I think students see too much on TV," Goforth told the station. "They like to mimic what they see, and if they're watching that sort of thing, of course they're going to copy that."

The students were suspended for various amounts of time, with two students being suspended for at least three days, the station said.

"For the most part, we have excellent students at Union County High School, and it is a learning experience," Goforth said. "And the behavior and discipline is just part of their learning experience."

Some of the students are in special education, he told the station. School authorities confiscated the tape.
