"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 humor, hurt 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."
