Who knows? It is Flori-duh. ttp://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/may/06/pa-presto-teacher-out-of-a-job/ "Assistant Superintendent Renalia DuBose said the word "wizardry" never came up on the school district's end. "That was his rendition of what happened," she said. DuBose also said "there was a lot more involved" than a simple magic-trick demonstration. She said the principal interviewed students after the regular teacher complained about Piculas' performance in the classroom. The principal then requested that Piculas not return to the school and said he "absolutely should not be subbing," DuBose said. "The toothpick demonstration was minor compared to the other problems," she said. In a letter the district sent to Piculas, performing a magic trick at Rushe Middle is just one of the reasons the district gives for dumping him from the substitute-teacher list. The others are that Piculas did not follow the lesson plans, he allowed students on computers even though another teacher said not to and he told the fifth-period student peer that she was in charge. Piculas said those other reasons are just window dressing. He said he finished the lesson plan, another teacher knew the students were on the computers and he never put the student peer in charge."
