Enrichment Direction:

Activities 1. Read this letter given by a private school principal to her teachers on the first
day of a new school year. It may make your humanizing mission in teaching
crystal clear.

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
graduate.
So, I am suspicious of education
My request is: help your students become human
Your efforts must never produce learned monsters skilled
psychopaths, and Eichmann’s.
Reading, writing, and arithmetic are important only if they serve
to make our children more human.

2. Give your reflection on the letter above then explain your mission as a professional
teacher by helping children become more human. (Please be guided with the
