Chapter 25 25

I need to emphasize that, contrary to the widely accepted belief, I believe that a child's mentor should be a young person, and even a young person can be wise in character.Young people can become children's companions and play games with children, so as to gain the trust of students.Children and adults have so little in common to form truly solid bonds, and children may sometimes suck up to adults but never really love them.There is only one subject that children need to learn, and this subject is to learn to be a human being.I like to call someone with such knowledge a mentor, not a teacher, because they guide, not instruct.What he gives children is not rules, but trying to let his students discover the rules themselves.
