More quotes by William Glasser
We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.
William Glasser
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
Told that the passing grade is a B or competence and that we will help you to get there, students do competent work. The lowest passing grade in the real world is competence. Why do schools accept so much less?
William Glasser
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.

Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
William Glasser
We may be up against a stone wall, but we don't have to bloody our heads against it unless we choose to.
William Glasser
When we depress, we believe we are the victims of a feeling over which we have no control.
William Glasser
Everybody needs one essential friend.
William Glasser
If everyone could learn that what is right for me does not make it right for anyone else, the world would be a much happier place.
William Glasser
You can acquire a lot of knowledge without ever going to school.
William Glasser
No human being will work hard at anything unless they believe that they are working for competence.
William Glasser
Good or bad, everything we do is our best choice at that moment.
William Glasser
To be depressed or neurotic is passive. It happened to us we are its victim, and we have no control over it.
William Glasser
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
We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.
William Glasser
The answer lies in preventing these failures, not in looking for better ways to fix the people who are failing.
William Glasser
We learn... 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we both hear and see 70% of what is discussed 80% of what we experience personally 95% of what we teach to someone else
