The faster you go, the more students you leave behind. It doesn't matter how much or how fast you teach. The true measure is how much students have learned.

William Glasser
I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.
William Glasser
You can acquire a lot of knowledge without ever going to school.
William Glasser
Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.

If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior. In other words, begin to act the part, as well as you can, of the person you would rather be, the person you most want to become. Gradually, the old, fearful person will fade away.

We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.

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
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.
William Glasser
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!
William Glasser
Everybody needs one essential friend.
William Glasser
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.
William Glasser
If we had in this room a hundred teachers, good teachers from good schools, and asked them to define the word education, there would be very little general agreement.
William Glasser
Good or bad, everything we do is our best choice at that moment.
William Glasser
Running a school where the students all succeed, even if some students have to help others to make the grade, is good preparation for democracy.
William Glasser
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
There are only two places in the world where time takes precedence over the job to be done. School and prison.
William Glasser
The day we stop playing will be the day we stop learning.
