I've come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element
in the classroom. It is 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.
