Fairy Tale Lessons for Drama Class About fifteen years ago, I taught at Smithton Middle School in Columbia, Missouri. I thought I'd probably end up teaching in high school, instead I taught in a middle school--a large one at that! It was a great experience. Every five and a half weeks, seventy-five sixth graders would

Bauhaus school costume party, 1920s As we get ready to tell yet another year to kiss our collective asses on its way out the door, that also means it’s almost time for that annual liver-killing bacchanal known as New Year’s Eve.
