“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 humour, hurt or heal.
In all situations it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escaped or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized.”
Dr. Haim Ginott
