I have come to a frightening conclusion. I am
the decisive element in the classroom.It is my
personal approach that creates the climate.It is
my daily mood that makes the weather.As a
teacher I possess 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. Between Teacher and Child Haim
Ginott

And . . . Have FUN!
