Jane Eyre models her teaching after Miss Temple with respect to her decision to correct her students' errors in a way that fosters their self-esteem.
Miss Temple is a character who teaches the passionate, and sometimes vengeful, Jane how to be kind and caring of others. From her, Jane learns to be fair, to find the truth before making decisions, and to be kind to people. This influence of kindness is very important for the way that Jane will teach her students in the future, and for the way Jane will make decisions about her own life.
