I completely agree. The truth of this statement is obvious. What is routinely neglected is that the same is true for the reverse. Students are more apt to make mistakes than their rebbeim or teachers. And our Chazal teach us in Pirkei Avos יהי כבוד תלמידך חביב עליך כשלך. The respect of a talmid is a clear dictate on this Mishna. Yet, the name calling, public shaming, and degrading of a talmid, whose mistake may be in the subject matter of the learning, or more likely in behavior, are completely assur, yet daily occurrence.
It is perfectly within the responsibility of the parents to inform the rebbe, teacher, or menahel(es) who shames a student that they better stop it. Obviously, this requires direct interaction, not using the child as an intermediary. But if the faculty cannot demonstrate respectfulness of the talmidim, they have already taught by example that respect is not important.
Good point, but it’s a two way street.
