A Modern Teacher Educates Children

To Sense When A Teenager Needs Understanding And When Misunderstanding Is A Difficult And Delicate Task. The Sad Truth Is That No Matter How Wise We Are, We Cannot Be Right For Any Length Of Time In Our Teenagers' Eyes.

I've Come To The Frightening Conclusion That I Am The Decisive Element In The Classroom. It's My Personal Approach That Creates The Climate. It's My Daily Mood That Makes The Weather. As A Teacher, I Possess Tremendous Power To Make A Student'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 Student Humanized Or De-humanized.
