Albert Cullum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Cullum (1920-2003) was an American Elementary school teacher in the 1960's. Instead of the standard Dick and Jane style of teaching, he opted to introduce his children to classic literature such as Shakespeare and Greek Dramas. Unlike other teachers at the time, Cullum strongly believed that learning and play could be combined in the classroom.
Many of Cullum's pedagogical experiments and class performances were captured on film by irreverent filmmaker Robert Downey Sr..
