Dear David,
I'd like to share the following:
On the first day of the new school year, all the teachers in
one private school received the following from their principal:
Dear Teacher,
I am a survivor of a concentration camp. My eyes saw what no
man should witness:
- Gas chambers built by "learned" engineers.
- Children poisoned by "educated" physicians.
- Infants killed by "trained" nurses.
- Women and babies shot and burned by "high school" and
"college" graduates.
So, I am suspicious of education.
My request is: HELP your students to become human. Your
efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled
psychopaths or educated feral animals.
Reading, writing, arithmetic are important only if they serve
to make our children more humane.
( - From Haim Ginott's "Teacher and Child").
Dedicated to the work and memory of Dr Haim Ginott, ( 1922-1973)
a psychologist, a parent, educator, and a sorely missed man.
