A teacher
I have come to a frightening conclusion that I am a
decisive element in the classroom. Its my personal
approach that create the climate. Its my mood that
makes the weather. As a teacher, I posses a tremendous
power to make a childs life miserable or joyous. I can be
a tool for torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can
humiliate or humour, hurt or heal. In all situations its my
response that influences whether a crisis will be escalated
or de-escalated, a child humanized or dehumanized.
