Original

I think modern educational theorists are inclined to attach too much importance to the negative virtue
of not interfering with children, and too little to the positive merit of enjoying their company. If you have
the sort of liking for children that many people have for horses or dogs, they will be apt to respond to
your suggestions, and to accept prohibitions, perhaps with some good-humoured grumbling, but
without resentment. It is no use to have the sort of liking that consists in regarding them as a field for
valuable social endeavour, or what amounts to the same thing as an outlet for power-impulses. No child
will be grateful for an interest in him that springs from the thought that he will have a vote to be
secured for your party or a body to be sacrificed to king and country. The desirable sort of interest is
that which consists in spontaneous pleasure in the presence of children, without any ulterior purpose.
Teachers who have this quality will seldom need to interfere with children's freedom, but will be able to
do so, when necessary, without causing psychological damage. Unfortunately, it is utterly impossible for
over-worked teachers to preserve an instinctive liking for children; they are bound to come to feel
towards them as the proverbial confectioner's apprentice does towards macaroons. I do not think that
education ought to be anyone's whole profession: it should be undertaken for at most two hours a day
by people whose remaining hours are spent away from children. The society of the young is fatiguing,
especially when strict discipline is avoided. Fatigue, in the end, produces irritation, which is likely to
express itself somehow, whatever theories the harassed teacher may have taught himself or herself to
believe. The necessary friendliness cannot be preserved by self-control alone. But where it exists, it
should be unnecessary to have rules in advance as to how "naughty" children are to be treated, since
impulse is likely to lead to the right decision, and almost any decision will be right if the child feels that
you like him. No rules, however wise, are a substitute for affection and tact.

Precis;

According to the writer, most of the modern educational thinkers prefer to not interfering with
children's activity over-friendly relations with them. We should not selfishly deal with children as
most of the people behave with animals. Children do not like such type of selfish behavior. We should
not dictate the teacher, who knows well, how he should deal with children, but unfortunately, most
of us are habitual of it. Education should not be a profession of anyone, and we ought to not
overworked to teachers. If we continue our bad behavior with youngs, it could bring moral
destruction in our society. If we promote friendly behavior towards them, we do not need to make
rules to deal with discipline violating children. Our every decision must be automatically liked by
children; if we realize that love and affection is better than restrictions.
