About Me

United States
Deborah S. Greenhut, PhD, is a playwright, arts documentarian, and educator who began teaching in a one-room school house in rural New England during 1970. These days you can find me collaborating with urban educators and students, seeking new ways to make education artful. I have consulted on management skills and communication arts in 44 of the United States and 5 provinces in Canada. I believe that people learn more effectively through drama-assisted instruction, and I exploit the Internet to deliver it. The views expressed here are entirely mine and not those of any other institution or organization.

Ann Coulter says teachers are useless--Was that balanced coverage by Fox News?

Perhaps Fox News and Friends will need to rethink its "balanced coverage" motto if they don't invite a school teacher to rebut Coulter's remarks about kindergarten teachers. See the video. Or perhaps Coulter will volunteer to spend a day managing a kindergarten class according to the rules. Most of us learned in kindergarten that we shouldn't, uh, demonize people just to win an argument.

Give Gretchen her due this morning. She didn't let the malignant remark slide, but it still might be a good idea to check in with a person who does the job.

Even Thomas Jefferson thought an educated citizenry was important.
