The same applies to educators . . when we are entrusted with a child whom we must guide and influence, we must not rely on our first glance and immediately decide that this child must be treated in a certain way.
Should the first impression be negative, we must not immediately decide that this child be treated harshly.
Similarly, on the other hand, if at first glance we see that this is a good child, we should not think briefly and then decide to give in to the child on everything, relying on the character and intellect of the child.
We are told that the utmost importance and seriousness in education demands that before we decide how to treat the child and what schedule to set, as well as the general education – whether it should be very strict, lax or somewhere in between the two extremes, we must be “moderate in judgment”, we must invest our entire soul in assessing the soul of the child, whose education Hashem entrusted to the instructor.
