Mission for the Class

     "I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element 
in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It's 
my daily mood that makes 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."
