Sometimes there is a student that does not behave in class as he should. Although he very much wants and tries to do the right thing, he has not yet succeeded.
One approach of a mechanech is to admonish him, telling him that just wanting to be good is not enough if it doesn’t lead to change. Even more so, the mechanech tells the student, if you really wanted to be an upright student, you would be, because nothing stands in the way of true will.
There is another approach of a mechanech that is on a higher level. This mechanech will have high regard for the student and his goodwill. He will respect and praise him on his wanting and trying to be where he should be.
The first approach can cause the student to stop wanting and quit working towards becoming a better person, while the second approach encourages the student to keep trying and bring his will to fruition and make it a reality.
