Quotes From Teacher and Child

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.

I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.

will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or de-humanized
 ”
