= I have come to the frightening conclusion that 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 or torture or a instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humour, hurt or heal. In all situations it is my response that dedicides whether a crisis will be escaladed or de-escaladed. And a child humanized or de-humanized.
