Something to Consider

• Ive come to the frightening conclusion that I am
  the decisive element in the classroom. Its my
  personal approach that creates the climate. Its
  my daily mood that makes the weather. As a
  teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a
  childs 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. Haim Ginott
