     A  helpful  educator is more interested  in  students
than in subject matter.  The interest in subject matter is
a  result  of the interest in students,   not  vice-versa.
Most   ineffective  educators  are  more   interested   in
themselves  or  their specialty than in students  who  are
about them.   For them,  students are a means to an income
or  to  vicarious   self-fulfillment.   For  others,   the
students provide a     context in which they can carry-out
research.             Intellectuals who are not interested
in  students  as whole persons are not helpful  educators.
They cannot educe      students.   They are more likely to
seduce  students into  internalizing inappropriate  values
which  are  given  meaning within an  inappropriate  value
system.  Even when students enjoy such seduction it may be
much like rape, in that the student may have no meaningful
opportunity  to consider    alternatives before  making  a
decision.     Without knowing  what the alternatives  are,
consent is not meaningful.      The helpful educator helps
students become aware of what  alternatives are open,  and
leaves the students free to   make their own free  choices
with   respect   to  attitudes,      values,   and   basic
assumptions upon which to build their   life.
