     In  healthy human relationships there is reciprocity,
but but if communication is in only one  direction---there
is   not   dialogue   and  so  there  is   little   mutual
understanding.  If there is not mutual understanding,  the
natural    consequence    is    that   there    will    be
misunderstanding.  The seriousness of the misunderstanding
will  depend upon the relative powers of  participants  to
engage  in  constructive and/or destructive decisions  and
actions.  If the primary word 'I-Thou' is not spoken, then
the primary word 'I-It'  is spoken  to persons as a matter
of  habit,  and destructive decisions and actions are part
of a thoughtless pattern.

     In colleges  and universities  evaluations  are  most
often  of  students  by  professors,   and  in  accord  to
traditional grading practices.  Dialogue is not considered
as an  essential part of the  process,  and reciprocity is
rare.  In some instances students copy some of the grading
practices   of   their   professors---but   with   greater
flexibility and greater respect for individual differences
than typifies professors'   evaluations  of students. Even
so, professors are often distressed by the inadequacies of
the procedures used  by  students  to evaluate professors.
There remain   many  blocks to academic honesty, and there
is  little  dialogue;   and  so  there  is  little  mutual
understanding,   because there is little mutual awareness.
The ultimate concern tends to be  the  faithful  recording
and play-back of information by students, and this concern
often stands in the way of real  meeting.

     So  long as there is a thoughtless union of education
and  certification---the  conflict  of  interest   present
therein  will   perpetuate  the alienative feed-back  loop
which  undermines effective education.  This  bureaucratic
procedure  will  have the power to harm real  students  so
long  as  society treats with respect  the  certifications
which  originate  within the context  of the  conflict  of
interest. If the rights of citizenship are denied to those
without    such certifications,  all citizens will  suffer
greatly.

     The  way out includes the elimination of the conflict
of interest which is inherent in the thoughtless union  of
education   and   certification,    the   elimination   of
thoughtless   respect   for   certifications,    and   the
development  of  regular patterns  of mutual evaluation by
participants in the educational experience.
