“I’ve come
to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom.
It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that
makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a 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 heal. In all situations, it is my response that
decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child
humanized or dehumanized.”
