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.
William Glasser
Image
Prior to being allowed to enter the profession, prospective teachers should be asked to talk with a group of friendly students for at least half an hour and be able to engage them in an interesting conversation about any subject the prospective teacher wants to talk about.

They have this big book called the 'DSM-IV,' you know, that is supposedly written about crazy people, but I think it is a book that is written by crazy people!

Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
William Glasser
Image
To be depressed or neurotic is passive. It happened to us we are its victim, and we have no control over it.
William Glasser
Image
Unlike the weak, the strong neither give up nor are driven by pain into rash or stupid behavior. They don't like pain any more than anyone else, but they are not willing to settle for short-term relief if it means reducing their options later. They don't rob Peter to pay Paul, they face reality now.

No human being will work hard at anything unless they believe that they are working for competence.
William Glasser
Image
To counter the avoidance of intellectual challenge and responsibility, we must reduce the domination of certainty in education.
William Glasser
Image
To focus on discipline is to ignore the real problem: We will never be able to get students (or anyone else) to be in good order if, day after day, we try to force them to do what they do not find satisfying.
William Glasser
Image
When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.
William Glasser
Image
I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.
William Glasser
Image
We can teach a lot of things, but if the teacher can't relate by talking to a group of friendly students, he'll never be a competent teacher.
William Glasser
Image
Good or bad, everything we do is our best choice at that moment.
William Glasser
Image
Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.
William Glasser
Image
We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.
William Glasser
Image
There is no real reason to fail a child, Once children start failing, they begin to believe that they can't do anything. They give up.
William Glasser
Image
Effective teaching may be the hardest job there is.
William Glasser
Image
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.

Without pay, no human being will work up to their ability if he or she is not cared for and respected.
