No story could be that short...but what the heck else (besides Alex's explainer) could have happened?

For those in need of further info, there are a few (longer) stories available such as this one.

Thanks Kevy.

Tampa Bay's 10 talked to the assistant superintendent with the Pasco County School District who said it wasn't just the wizardry and that Picular had other performance issues, including "not following lesson plans" and allowing students to play on unapproved computers.
He got fired for being the cool substitute. Boo. :(

Yeah, that was kind of my reaction as well.

So why don't they say he got fired for those things instead of "wizardry". Even saying he was fired for doing magic tricks instead of doing what he was supposed to be doing. But Wizardry? Come on folks - what century are you living in? Or is the author a huge harry potter fan and has always wanted to use that phrase in an article?

Ghoulish Delight 05-07-2008 09:40 AM

The reality is, they don't have to, and didn't, say why he was fired. As a substitute, he's an "at will" employee and they can terminate him with no justification. And more than likely, the district's lawyers are telling them specifically not to say why he was fired because once they make a specific claim as to why, then they open themselves up to counter claims, whereas if they leave it at, "We don't need to give a reason," there's nothing the teacher can do. So yeah, the reporters went with the most ridiculous headline they could muster.

I hope everyone there has been practicing their kegel exercises or whatever they need to do to block the powers of these witches, warlocks and homeless people.
