The meaning of education: Message from an American College Dean

Perhaps its Michael Shinagel who used to be the dean of continuing ed at Harvard. Hes recently produced a memoir that discusses his life through the holocaust. However, Theres the other side of the coin I got from The Death of Expertise wherein Tom Nichols book talks about how "institutionalized denial" is affecting our country.

We should read their thoughts , try to understand and perhaps take away things from a bunch of sources. Ive always hoped that's what education is all about.
Remember, it also took the field engineers to defeat Hitler. I'd be more scared of those masses who deify their leaders unconditionally and dont question anything.

Wow, this English of your is refreshing! It is almost perfect standard English except "ed"(Ed.), "Ive"(I've), "dont"(don't) and "theres"(there's).

Michael Shinagel's story is impressive. His Holocaust Survivor to Harvard Dean:: Memoirs of a Refugees Progress should be read.

I jut try to help your pitiful scholarship skills. My spelling is organically deroven,(with a touch of humor that apprently goes right over yer hayid)

Still working on understanding what science has to say about when evolution begins?

PS in the US, Ed is a contraction of the name Edward or, when used together with a B ,M, or D is a level of degree attainment. However ed,(as I used it) is a perfectly acceptable contraction for Continuing education . In such a use, (ed) considered the terminal word in a phrase where only the introductory title word is capitalized.

The fact is that I worte Ed., not Ed.
The renowned Longman Dictionary defines Ed. as:



It is better for you to swallow down your bullshit.

Langman Dictionary is trustworthy.

Typo: wrote, not worte.

Excuse me, OK? but pardon me...

Is this individual who claims has witnessed imaginary events trying to teach what?

Do you think that remembering past events will "teach" you to be "humane"?

How?

Provide an example that remembering the forcing of thousands of American aborigines hundreds of miles walking thru desert areas to a Reservation in New Mexico, will "teach" you to become "humane".

I think that your main intention is not about teaching others to be humane but your topic is just another attempt to promote the propaganda that gas chambers existed in Nazi camps.

Please, after reading my reply, don't play of being the victim that I am a Holocaust denier and similar incongruousness.

The plain truth is that scientifically speaking, there is not a minimum possibility that those gas chambers ever existed in Nazi concentrations camps.

The plain truth is that no one learns to be "humane" by listening stories of imaginary atrocities, or even if the stories were real.

Being humane is learned thru good examples, like mercy on others, helping the one in need, working for the common good, etc.

If that dude has spent his life spreading lies about events that never happened, I can tell that such is the saddest and miserable life ever lived by someone.

Teachers must teach students about "compassion" on dudes like that WW2 survivor, who deserves being in a mental institution rather than promoting being humane thru the spreading on nonsense.
