It's my personal approach that creates the climate. It's my daily mood that makes the weather.
As a teacher, I have 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 de-escalated and a child dehumanized or humanized.

They deserve nothing less!
