To honor the teacher is a means of honoring the Way. Therefore, the teacher shall posess the justice that reigns between a ruler and his subject and the love that exists between a parent and his child.
-- Ito Jinsai, Japanese philosopher, 1666 –
What I love about the above pedagogical philosophy is how it so quickly moves from → the student’s responsibility toward the teacher to → the teacher’s responsibility toward the student. In fact, it focuses on this latter thing, [as it should.]
Have a great Monday!
