teacher: Last News

A Wisonsin teacher has been placed on administrative leave after expressing disappointment in the Waukesha School District’s decision to disallow a student performance of Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton’s “Rainbowland” at her school’s spring concert, The New Republic first reported and multiple outlets, including the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, have confirmed. Melissa Tempel, who teaches first grade at Heyer Elementary in Waukesha, took to Twitter to repeatedly complain after word came down that her students would not be able to carry out a their planned performance of the inclusive country duet, with administrators citing a district-wide policy regarding items “that may be considered political, controversial, or divisive.” In a statement on the decision, district superintendent Jim Sebert wrote that “the question was around whether the song was appropriate for the age and maturity level of the first-grade students.” The ban made national news, with Cyrus’ Happy Hippy Foundation donating to the LGBTQ educational non-profit Pride and Less Prejudice in response.

Zack Sharf Hugh Jackman has spent over two decades, six movies and two uncredited cameos playing Wolverine in the “X-Men” film franchise, and all that superhero growling and yelling has taken a toll on the actor’s voice. Jackman revealed on the BBC’s “Front Row” show that playing Wolverine has resulted in permanent damage to his vocal cords. “I’ve done some damage to my voice with Wolverine. My falsetto is not as strong as it used to be and that I directly put down to some of the growling and yelling,” Jackman said. “My vocal teacher in drama school would’ve been horrified with some of the things I did [as Wolverine].” Jackman continued, “We learned a technique [in school] of how to shout and how to yell without ruining your voice. However, during Wolverine, I did some screaming and yelling and things that I think did damage to my voice. I’m working on it. I work with a singing teacher and I try not to hurt myself. I put a lot of effort into both physical movement and my vocal preparation for every role.”
