The hand wasn't quicker than the eye this time....the given reason for the firing doesn't make sense, but what was the lesson that the teacher was trying impress on the children?

The guy was only trying to get the attention of the class. I mean...come on, How many subs did we listen to when we were in school. He was probably just trying to break down the barrier. Give him the credit he deserves. If Florida fired him for that then I guess have a massive genoicide on Halloween. Florida, lighten up.

LOL... Put him in water, if he sinks he's a witch, because the extra weight is probably from the devil inside of him.

From passing laws to prevent you from putting bull testicle ornaments on your bumper (especially since you can drive pass real bull nutts in the fields) to accusing someone of witchcraft...the state has gone too conservative.

I expect a morality police squad to be voted in place soon in that state. Like in Iran and Saudi Arabia.

I wonder if he knows how to pull a quarter out of a child's ear? If he knows that one he could make a bible disappear.

Maybe that teacher could make this silly controversy over the Discordian Miley Cyrus alias Hannah Montana wearing a sheet and showing her bare back disappear. But be careful you don't disappear the sheet!
Us floridians are familiar with wearing sheets,although its usually accompanied with a burning cross..........

Oh come on! Criss Angel did the "vanishing toothpick" trick in an episode of Criss Angel Mindfreak! He even showed how it was done! There was no "wizardry" involved in it then either! What is wrong with this kid?!

I'm ashamed to admit I am from Florida, and I have to admit that there's not a lot intelligence going on in the state. Most of the people who live here are snowbirds or retirees, so their brains aren't exactly pictures of mental health. Then because they're not used to the heat, the "rational" side of their brain kinda gets screwed up a bit. Nobody comes here to think. They come to bake on our beaches, get laid, or die.

Hey, we keep hearing about how we must have seperation of church and state. A teacher can't even have a bible on their desk or likely in their desk. So why wouldn't magic be allowed in a classroom?
Type of magic he uses were stage/street type magic tricks not religion base magic like Wiccan.
He did not have a BOS on his desk, he didn't teach them how to using tarot cards or other type of divtion tools, spells, etc.

Oh, well there you have it! You're using old school math,
Here
Let me help you...you have to multiply 5 x 7 to get 35 then add 5 + 7 to get 13 simply add the two together and wala..48, now just add one for the volcano state and an extra one for the polar bear and we got ourselves an even half a dime!
Say, all this math has made me a little hungry, you like pie, want to have some pie and a coffee somewhere??(:

WIZARDRY?????? They have got to be out of their minds. Let's see; New teacher, Gets students attention, Appears to control class (Not an easy job for a sub), Probably becoming popular with students and getting them to listen to him. the regular teaching staff just can't have that, no sureee...I'd like to be at the board meeting where the charges are presented. OH, wait, dismissal meetings are 'closed' to the public. Besides there are a lot of teachers out there that won't ruffle the jelosey feathers of those on tenure. Politics, politics. Office politics.
If they really feel he is a wizard- they better watch out for a 'Wizards Curse'. It would be worth it, to see the looks on their faces.
