Education is a work of patience and love. The praxis of Calasanz and his words give a brilliant testimony of that,

"The problem of education is so important that it requires professional people, endowed with grets love and patience. Try to imbue the students with evey virtue, with patience, and with strong love.

Treat all students with kindness, in such a way that they will understand that you desire their benefit from your heart.

Try to attract the students to you, being more father than a rigid judge.

Remember that you are in charge of children and youth, and practice more the affability of counsel than the rigidity of commandments.

Don't forget to unite the authority with common sense and discretion."
