Parshas Vaeschanan

"I can't understand why he acts almost as though he isn't my son."
"Maybe because you act almost as though you're not his father."

"And you shall teach your sons..." (Divorim 6:7) Rashi says "This
refers to students who are called sons. And just like students are called
sons, teachers are called parents." While explaining our verse, what compels
Rashi to say "teachers are called parents"? I think that Rashi is teaching
us that our students are like our children when we act like their parents !!

To be successful in the parent/child or teacher/student relationship:
remember--it's a two way street.

Have a great Shabbos !!
