Editing Chinuch (Education) (section)

== The Rebbe's Instructions ==
The Rebbe's response regarding educational work: "In response to your question: Generally - Chazal's instruction is that a person should be involved with others, and particularly - those involved in education should be close with the children's parents as this increases their influence on the students. Even in casual conversation (if it's not forbidden speech) one can direct the conversation to beneficial matters, and the proof - that we are commanded about this too: 'In all your ways, know Him'. But this needs to be done without being conspicuous (as with all human matters)"

The main role of an educator is not to impart knowledge and achievements, but specifically to instill good middos in students and guide their path in life for the years ahead when they grow up.

The educators' responsibility extends to times when students are at home outside the Talmud Torah walls, particularly their conduct in shul.

From Rav Chodakov it was recorded that an educator must review the halachos relevant to their educational work from time to time, just as a shochet and sofer STaM need to review the halachos, at least in brief.
