Albert Cullum

Albert Cullum was an American Elementary school teacher in the 1960s. 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. Cullum was the author of numerous books about education including The Geranium On The Windowsill Just Died But Teacher You Went Right On, which sold over half a million copies.
