Mishneh Torah, Torah Study
A teacher of school children who leaves the children and departs from the school, or who engages himself in another kind of work while he is with them, or who is negligent in teaching them, behold, he is included among those of whom it is said: "Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord with a slack hand" (Jer. 48.10). It is, therefore, improper to appoint any teacher save one who is God fearing, diligent in reading and grammar.3Baba Batra, 21b. C.
