| | | Fired for "wizardry"
LAND O' LAKES -- A Florida substitute teacher said his job disappeared after he did a magic trick in front of his students.
Substitute teacher Jim Piculas made a toothpick disappear, then reappear, in front of a classroom at Rushe Middle School in Land O'Lakes.
The Pasco County School District said the trick is just one of the reasons Piculas was let go. Teacher Accused Of Wizardry - Central Florida News 13 |

| | | That is completely ridiculous! How can someone fire someone over wizardry? It was completely INNOCENT what he did, what are the people who fired him thinking? |

'You've been accused of wizardry.' Wizardry?" Piculas said.
Piculas says the parent of a traumatized student complained after he performed the toothpick trick.

| | | Welcome to Florida.
I need to MOVE OUT
They need to quit freaking out over alleged "wizardry" and worry about whether kids can actually read and write well enough to get out of school. End.

I get that it's retarded, but by the sounds of it they weren't happy with him anyway. |

| | | Hah! I thought he was trying to raise demons, now THAT'S Wizardry. Toothpick disappearing? That's illusion. I'm more concerned that the students are too dumb to realise that it's a TRICK, not actual magic.

| | Personally I think they just made this up as a "last staw" excuse to sack him anyway seeing he was annoying them for other reasons such as: Quote: |
The assistant superintendent said Piculas had other issues, such as not following lesson plans and allowing students to play on computers that were not approved
| But then again, I wouldn't put it passed them to make a serious issue, I still remember a Tennessee teacher being sacked from her job just because she had a baby out of wed-lock and was seen to be a bad moral example to children. Ridiculous. |

| | | Anything’s possible, but from the way the article reads, it’s well within possibility that the teacher coincidentally received a complaint about this at around the same time they were planning to let him go anyway. According to the article, ‘wizardry’ isn’t mentioned anywhere on the firing letter, and ‘other issues’ is the reporters’ wording, meaning the interview could have gone like this:
Q – We hear you fired a teacher for ‘wizardry’?
A – Well, we did get a complaint from a parent about him doing a magic trick, but actually we fired him for not following lesson plans and letting the kids play on unapproved computers.

Ridiculous. | I imagine they were going to fire him and he was saying OMG THEY FIRED ME IT MUST BE THE MAGICKS! and the principal is sitting in his office right now thinking "Well, no, we fired you because you were chronically late and you had sex with your students" but that makes a boring news story so that's not how it's reported |
