«I've come to the frightening conclusioin that I am the decisive element in the classroom. 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.»

People are terrified to be set free ? they hold on to their chains. They fight anyone who tries to break those chains. It's their security?How can they expect me or anyone else to set them free if they don't really want to be free?»
