Dolcie Myrold told this one. When she was about 14 her Mia Maid teacher (who'd earlier had a child out of wedlock and repented) said that she felt bad that her sins would be on the heads of her parents. Dolcie said the Spirit whispered that this was not correct doctrine. She went home and searched the scriptures and found the truth, that as long as the parents have taught correct doctrine they won't be held responsible for their child's sins.
This story illustrated well the two principles we were teaching: 1) that the teacher must teach true doctrine, and 2) that the student is responsible for learning. Both of these principles require study and listening to the Spirit.
We are learning more from our students than they are from us!

I know that the student is responsible for the learning. Mom tried to teach me spanish some years ago. I really didn't want to so I never did.
I'm happy you know that. It's impossible to teach if the student is unwilling to learn. Spanish might come in handy some day!
Things may not be on the heads, but both the good and bad ends up on the hearts of the parents.
Oh, and yeah! for teaching and learning well
