“I have come to a frightening conclusion.
I am the decisive element in my 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.”
I thought these things as soon as reality sunk in that I chose this as a profession.
I hope I’ll do well, ameen.
