  15. “I’ve come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my daily mood that sets the weather. As a teacher, I possess a 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 Ginnot, Teacher and Child
