Letters to the Editor - January 2008

CALIFORNIA

Philanthropist Eli Broad Awards California
School District $500,000


To the Editor:
I found this article exciting and refreshing.
Knowing that someone of Mr. Broad’s stature
cares enough about the less fortunate to give back
just made me smile. That old adage, “I reached
out to grab your hand and touched your heart”
seemed to apply. We’re all teachers and educators
of some sort. I am enriched by sharing my
knowledge of the behind-the-scenes experience
in the entertainment industry.

ILLINOIS

Ken Baum, Principal Extraordinaire

To the Editor:
This article is outstanding. Is it possible to get a
list of schools in Illinois, and/or other states, that
describe which programs are being used in which
schools with what level of success?

So You Want To Be A Film Major

To the Editor:
The article really helped me get an insight on
being a film major. I really needed this, because
it’s a true and very honest description and opinion
of the courses. I’m a senior in high school right
now, but I can’t wait to go to college to study
film. I’m so excited and even though it may be a
lot of work, I know that I can do this.

Harvard’s Howard Gardner Receives Standing
Ovation at Bank Street Event


To the Editor:
Dr. Gardner has contributed so much to the
teaching of diverse students with his theories.
I wish he could see the relief spread over
the faces of my community college students
when I explain Multiple Intelligences. For
the first time, I think some students understand
that they are not dumb and that they
have their own strengths. It must be a relief
to them after years of being put down by our
traditional views.

About Dr. Muriel Petioni

To the Editor:
Dr. Muriel Petioni believes that everyone
should have access to medical care. She not
only demonstrated that here in the U.S., but now
to a less fortunate Chiefdom—Gbonkolenken
Chiefdom, in the war-torn country of Sierra
Leone. Thanks for continuing to pointing us all at
Women for Women of Sierra Leone USA in the
right direction.
