One day the authorities decided to open a children's correctional facility. A famous teacher was invited for consultations. He gave an impassioned speech calling for humane methods of education in the colony; he called for focusing all efforts on ensuring that competent teachers work with children, so that children are treated with kindness and affection.
He ended with the words:
“If at least one child is saved from moral decay, then we can consider that all the money and labor invested in this institution have been repaid.
Later a council member asked him:
- You've got something wrong. Can all the effort and effort be justified by saving just one child?
- If it were my child, then yes.
