In all situations, it is your response that decides whether a crises will be escalated or de-escalated, and child humanized or de-humanized." I loved that statement...As a mom, and an ex-student, i wish we could put it on a plaque or make it like the hippocratic oath for teachers. No, teaching is not a job anybody can do, it takes a special kind of person with an immense capacity for love and patience. You reminded me of a couple my teacher - let me name names :) a Mrs Parmar in 6th grade and Mrs Henvi in the 5th, who went out of there way to make me believe in myself and be more confident with their faith in me... Hats off to all teachers! “You can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
