I have come to a frightening conclusion.I am the decisive element in the classroom.It is my personal approach that creates the climate.It is my daily mood that makes the weather.As a teacher, I possess tremendous power to make a
child’s life miserable or joyous.I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of
inspiration. I can humiliate or hurt, humor or heal.In all situations, it is my response that decides
whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or de-humanized.
