Prof. in Croatia Apologizes for Teaching Honesty; Says She Was Mistaken in Preparing Pupils for Life

A professor in Croatia has apologized to her current and former pupils for teaching them to be honest and to value knowledge, the Croatian Times website reports today (February 3, 2011).

The 65-year-old mathematics and physics professor, Ankica Bencek, from the capital Zagreb has written a letter admitting she was mistaken in her approach to prepare her pupils for life.

"I apologize in public for teaching you all wrongly. It has taken me a long time to understand that I was wrong," Ankica Bencek has written.

She has ironically written her letter that was published in the national daily newspaper Vecernji List where she said her attitude was obviously mistaken, as she wanted to raise kids by "teaching them to be honest and to treat knowledge as the only value no one can steal from you."
