Fault Finding


Pupils may be sure that teachers do not find fault with them merely for

the purpose of finding fault. If the teacher is worthy [of] that respect

which leads pupils to study with him, he doesn't find fault except when

it is necessary, and then he does it with dignity. If the teacher is

constantly fault-finding, and does it in an irritable manner, you would

better leave him at once. Now and then we learn of a teacher who gets

his pupils so nervous that they burst out crying. It is not well to

remain long with such a teacher. The pupil goes to him with fear which

spoils the first of the lesson, and surely after the cry, the lesson is

spoiled, for no good vocal tone can then be made. At a lesson all should

be restful and dignified.
