Praise the good, scold the bad... I believed that was the "right" thing for an educator to do. I never doubted that model, and that's how I treated them as well.
Sensei...
only cast him into the abyss, even though he had plenty of strength to walk the right path if I had let him.
...Ah, forgive me.
I don't mean to make you listen to my regrets.No... Please, go on.
People who obsess over "right and wrong"
are liable to get the idea that they themselves are special
and lose sight of "the obvious".
I did regret it, greatly so... yet, I decided that I could not change how things were.If I changed course now, what would happen to those many other students who had walked the correct path all this time?In the end... well, you saw him yourself.My idea of thrusting reality into my students' facesThe obvious. That's what you should realize, accept, never forget.
That's the lesson they taught me, and my duty is to pass it to the next generation.
