Torey Hayden had an interesting story about “a paper war”. Being a teacher she let her love, motherly instincts, instincts as a woman, etc be pushed aside to let the cold hearted common sense and logical teacher come out.
°
6 year old Sheila refused to do paperwork. She would destroy paper at before her as school work.
Torey had been gaining Sheila’s trust and faith, and she nearly destroyed it all by trying to force Sheila to do paperwork.
*
The love, compassion, and understanding in Torey should have told her to wait, not to push such a violent insecure child as Sheila. But Torey said that the school teacher in her became fixated in trying to get Sheila’s work on paper. After about 3 weeks they had a great battle that ended with Sheila screaming at Torey, “I hate you!”
*
Later on Torey reads the story of the Prince and the Fox. And the Fox says to the Prince that humans have forgotten to follow their hearts etc.
It seems like an excellent story about the Prince and the Fox.
°
The mind says to only go with logic, but the heart needs it’s say too. To follow only the mind is too cold hearted, and all teachers need to teach with their heart more than anything. They need to really cared for those in their charge.

All the best from
