Favorite Quote: "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 posess 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 dehumanized." -Haim Ginott
