I never completed high school and I am very rich and very successful. |
|
|
I only had a high school education and believe me, I had to cheat to get that. |

I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship. |
Yogi Berra (1925-) |
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. |
