Neither the word "sin" is used, nor is the condition which the word points to---a focus of attention in training college and university science teachers. The practical problems of the alienation of scientists---are not the focus of attention in the programs which prepare college, university, and graduate science professors. As a result the college, university, and graduate science teachers are relatively unaware of, indifferent to, and un-responsive to the practical problems which sin poses in their daily professional work. The importance of personal considerations in teaching and teacher training is independent of people's failure to deal wisely with them. Failure to wisely teach teachers how to deal with the personal aspects of teaching---does not make the personal aspects of teaching unimportant, no matter whose failure it may be. Thus, scientists who are critical of the efforts of Teacher Education Departments in this matter---are not through their criticism being helpful. To be helpful scientists must do a better job of dealing with the personal aspects of teaching---than do Teacher Education Departments. Their wise judgment will then be found in their doing a better job, rather than in their verbal criticisms. Humane teaching is humane profession, a personal profession; and professor training which does not prepare professors to deal personally with students is irresponsible training. To accept the victims of such unbalanced training as qualified college professors is irresponsible. Technical specialists who are personally immature cannot be humane teachers. Technical sophistication is not the essence, the necessary and sufficient qualification, for humane teaching. A necessary qualification is a balance between technical interest and competence on the one hand, and personal interest and maturity on the other. To achieve the necessary balance personal sacrifices must be made relative to "excellence" which might be achieved through full specialization in just technical or just personal concerns. Thus striving for just "excellence" rather than balance is irresponsible. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
