Final ThoughtsFinal Thoughts

� 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 orI 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.

� — Dr. Haim G. Ginott
