Armed Robber

QUESTION
AN ARMED ROBBER WAS CONVICTED AND IS TO DIE BY FIRING SQUAD, AND IS ABOUT TO BE SHOT. IS HIS EXPERIENCE AN EDUCATIVE ONE OR NOT?
John Dewey and the pragmatists on their view on education, made experience as the source of all knowledge. They define education in terms of experience. That is to say that education comes as a result of experience: It is a lesson learnt from experience but it is not every experience that is educative. The experience that is the educative is the type that makes possible other experience in future. The experience must be productive and must not be a limiting experience. An experience is limiting if it hinders other possible experiences.
Emanating from the above pragmatics and Dewey postulation is the fact that, the experience of the convicted armed robber is not educative. The reason being that, the already convicted armed robber is about to shop, at the same time having an experience but for him, it could not be an educative experience, since the firing is going to terminate any possibility of the robber having any future experiences. That is why John Dewey defined education as the continuous reconstruction or reorganization of experience which adds to the meaning of experience and which increases the ability to direct the course of subsequent experience. In his (armed robber) case, there is no subsequent experience because his experience is sending him to the grave.  
The aim of education is the development of the learner to deal with the future, the experience of the armed robber has not developed to deal with the future or solve problem in the future, rather it has ended. His experience is not educative because it lacks continuity because a limit has being placed.
Education is the process of developing the habit of problem-solving and there is no limit to the development of this ability.
Besides, education is also defined as growth and nothing but growth. The growth is not a biological or physical one but rather...
