To the Editor:

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to express my ideas about the importance of the arts, an integral part of a well-balanced education.

I think it is particularly meaningful that the studio in which I teach is housed in the encyclopedic Metropolitan Museum of Art. This institution takes extraordinary care to display and conserve great works of art. By experiencing first-hand the tools and materials of artists, our students’ subsequent gallery experiences become particularly meaningful.

I deeply appreciate the high quality of educational standards set by Director Philippe de Montebello and Associate Director of Education, Kent Lydecker, as well as by the Trustee Education Committee and many others of the museum staff.

I am writing to express interest in obtaining the forensic science curriculum that Court TV has developed. I have been teaching forensic science at the college level for the past eight years and at the high school level for the past four years. There has always been a high interest in the course and would love more ideas on topics to add to the course.

Excellent information; we are always looking for grant programs.

We must ensure that teachers are assessing our children based on mandates and not personal opinion. I will definitely be at the Chancellor’s next meeting on Dec. 5th!
