Is there any wonder that Brett's kids are homeschooled? There are 2-3 articles PER DAY on FARK about bizarre happenings in public schools. The system is broken.

Of course if we keep throwing more money at it without actually addressing any of the root causes, it will get better. Let's raise taxes some more for 'education'. :roll:

Big deal. The teacher did a trick.

No reason to yank your kids outta school.

In this instance I was talking about the school administrators. The screwed up folks who punish a teacher for something stupid like this. No wonder all the good teachers abandon the public school system in droves, leaving mostly unqualified idiots to teach the kids.

Hahaha, don't say THAT. I can come up with some shit!

I've noticed! I mean.......c'mon what are they gonna do to him? Chuck him in the nearest river and see if the poor bastard sinks......and when he doesn't, fish him out and burn him at the stake. I've heard they're a tad partial to a bit of Bible thumping down south, but WTF????

I'm assuming that some common sense will enter the situation at some point. They could always try sprinkling some holy water on him and see if it burns through him.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

cooler heads will prevail. If nothing else the teacher will sue them for violating some kind of 'fair employment rule'.

 

[TheTreeWiseMen]

I'm sure that he could get a job at Hogwarts......so not to worry eh?

 

[sotc]

yeah maybe he could teach card trick magic
