Chekhov teachers who are teaching in America... how might you utilize your skills in the classroom today to listen and to share stories of what happens when lies spread across the earth? How might you coach your students to use the power of their imaginations to create the vision for our future and the vision of the future leaders for whom they will cast a vote. Pictured here is the penultimate page of Chekhov's story "A Tale About Lies and How Swiftly They Spread Across the Earth", a story he wrote and then shared with his students when he lived in Russia in 1918/19.
