Declaration of a Teacher

*Perfect for a school teacher, home school mom, Sunday school teacher or parent!

I AM A TEACHER

"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 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."

~Dr. Haim Ginnot
