“We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process.

This is education as the practice of freedom.”

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.”
