A Guidance or A Follower?

I may oppose Rousseau’s notion which says that the teacher is a companion to the learner at every step since the teacher can’t be as the shadow of the learner which can observe all or most of his/her actions or guess his/her thoughts at every place and at any time and for the second reason which I may take into consideration in which the learner may do something in the presence of the teacher but he/she may do it in the opposite direction at the moment where the teacher is gone and in my opinion this behavior is immoral and more severe than doing the false itself. For such reasons and may be for added reasons I consider myself in the side of Herbert who noted that the teacher should be a moral guide at first and then he/she will assess the actions and thoughts of the learner from a certain distance so that the teacher can estimate the level of the learner’s critical thinking and thus he/she will judge the learner’s morality and that can be more safe and helper to the educator to criticize the learner and may make him/her improve, correct and redirect the learner’s actions and thoughts to become a habit.
