The Child – the Heart of the Matter

Rangiora High School

I have come to a frightening conclusionI am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate,It is my daily mood that creates the weather.As a teacher I process tremendous powerTo make a child’s life miserable or joyous,I can humiliate or humour, hurt or heal.In all situations it is my responses thatDecide whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalatuatedAnd a child humanised or de-humanised. (Haim Ginott, 1972)
