Why not whip the teacher when the pupil misbehaves?

Summary

This quote, attributed to Diogenes of Sinope, suggests that instead of solely blaming and punishing the misbehaving student, society should question the effectiveness of the educator and hold them accountable as well. It challenges the conventional notion of solely blaming the learner for their behavior. By questioning whether the teacher's methods, guidance, or lack thereof may have contributed to the misconduct, this quote highlights the importance of examining the overall educational system and emphasizing the role of teachers in shaping their students' behavior.
