Rabbi Isaiah Horowitz, in his 16th century book, Shnei Luchot HaBrit, provides us with excellent guidance for educating today's youth, as he expounds upon the verse, "do not rebuke a depraved, lest he hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you" (Parables 9:8). When rebuking a person make sure not to humiliate him, and refrain from treating him as a depraved individual, for if you do so he will hate you and will ignore your message; rather, relate to him as a wise person, and he will listen to you.
