How can I manage judgment in my role as a teacher?

practice
"Judge the actions, not the person; correct with love and compassion, for the essence of the student is vast and worthy."
According to Osho, a teacher must judge actions, not persons. Correct mistakes firmly, but without condemning the student’s being. The person is vast; an act is a small fragment. Intervene to prevent harm—“Don’t go that way”—from love and compassion, not superiority. Guide, set limits, and redirect behavior while honoring the student’s dignity and latent goodness.
Fix what a student does wrong, but never label them as wrong—help from care, not anger.
Why this matters practically
- Gives clear, shame-free feedback by targeting behavior.
- Builds trust and motivation by honoring students’ dignity.
- Grounds discipline in compassion, preventing power misuse.
