9. Not ? what ought to be, but ? what is possible.

You want to be loved by the children, yet your conscientious, responsible 
and regulation-bound work compels you to press them into the narrow, 
suffocating molds of present-day life, present-day hypocrisy and violence. 
They resist, defend themselves, and feel only resentment toward you.

You want them to be frank and well behaved, whereas worldly forms are 
dishonest and frankness is impertinence. That boy who yesterday was sad and 
you asked him "why?" Do you know what he thought? "Leave me alone." He is 
already insincere, He would not say what he thought. All he did was to 
withdraw resentfully, and you felt hurt.

The Boarding School ~ Janusz Korzak
