And now for the rest of the story:

    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 Piculas had other performance issues,
    including "not following lesson plans" and allowing students
    to play on unapproved computers.

    Piculas said he knew nothing about the accusations.

I'm betting the tooth pick is just one example of him wasting class 
time, but now that he's been fired he's trying to make the district 
look bad.
