Florida Substitute Teacher Fired, Accused of Wizardry
And now for something completely different:

A Florida teacher may have to pull an unemployment check out of his hat after performing magic in front of students, according to reports. Jim Piculas said he made a toothpick disappear and reappear in front of students at the Rushe Middle School in Land 'O Lakes, Fla., Local6.com reported. He said he later got a call from the supervisor of teachers, saying he had been accused of wizardry.

2. So, admin's a bunch of idiots.
I have the same problem where I work. In Fl, BTW. :eyes:

Why wouldn't the principal tell the parent it was a simple trick, and let it go? :crazy:

3. I think the principal should be fired and accused of masquerading as an educator
What idiocy.
