  19. 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 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.“ • Haim Ginott
