Activity 2.4 The Humanizing Mission of Teaching

Name(s): __________________________________________________________________________________________
Date: _____________________

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

Dear Teacher:
I am a survivor of a concentration camp.
My eyes saw what no human should witness:

- Gas chambers built be 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 become human.
Your efforts must never produce learned monsters,
skilled psychopaths, and Eichmanns.

Reading, writing, and arithmetic are important only if

they serve to make our children more human.

Explain your mission as a professional teacher by helping children become more human. (20 points)
