This episode of Phineas and Ferb made me think of Sir Ken Robinson.
There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns. ~Edward de Bono

I have come to a frightening conclusion.
I am the decisive element in the classroom.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
As a teacher I possess 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.

Looking forward to seeing this documentary. Thanks to Bill Ferriter (@plugusin) for sharing the trailer in his post, The Mitchell 20 Don't Wait for Superman. Any way you examine it, teachers are the key to educational reform!
Hope must precede responsibility because kids who lack hope have no reason to act in responsible ways.

Be ready. Be thoughtful. Be focused.
