[Avodah] incorrect learning of Torah

[Eli Turkel via Avodah]

Just to be clearer I will give more details of the gemara BM 109a-b

The gemara lists several professions that one can fire the employee
immediately (see however CM 306:8) because the damage they do is
irreparable. One of them is a teacher to children .

Rashi explains that what one learns in one's youth can never be completely
unlearned. Tosafot disagrees and instead explains that at the time the
student is learning wrong material (shibushim) the student is not learning
true Torah (limud shel emet). To quote Artscroll
"the time learning the wrong information is lost forever"

My only point was that Tosafot does not account for the effort of the
student, i.e. working hard at learning the wrong material thinking he is
learning Torah. Instead Tosafot seems to be saying that at least for
children the important thing is information.
