William Glasser quotes about
labels trouble ifs
When we label anyone 'bad', we will have more trouble dealing with him than if we could have settled for a lesser label.
children lying teaching
The answer lies in preventing failures not in looking for better ways to fix the children who are failing.
strong educational thinking
Today much of what we call education is merely knowledge gathering and remembering. Problem solving and thinking, never strong parts of our educational system, have been downgraded in all but a few scientific subjects.
teaching test-scores tests
If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve.
educational school thinking
We don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.
teacher book communication
The Compassionate Classroom is a fabulous book! If teachers will read it, they can transform their classrooms.
disaster holes golfers
A friend of mine, a dedicated golfer, shot a hole in one playing by himself. Disaster.
sex people mind
Sex is on the minds of most people, especially those who shouldn't be having it.
funny jobs school
There are only two places in the world where time takes precedence over the job to be done. School and prison.
teacher intellectual friendly
Every single major push in education has made it worse and right now it's really bad because everything we've done is de-humanizing education. It's destroying the possibility of the teacher and the student having a warm, friendly, intellectual relationship.
educational school opportunity
As long as acquiring knowledge is the educational goal of schools, educational opportunities will be limited, as they are now, to affluent families.
school winning competition
There is plenty of competition in a Glasser Quality School in that there is winning but no losing.
victim over-it passive
To be depressed or neurotic is passive. It happened to us; we are its victim, and we have no control over it.
teacher book teaching
In a Glasser Quality School there is no such thing as a closed book test. Students are told to get out their notes and open their books. There is no such thing as being forbidden to ask the teacher or another student for help.
