I’ve come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive
element in the classroom. It’s my personal approach that
creates the climate.
It is my 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
deescalated and a child humanized or dehumanized.
