More quotes by 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
What we get, and all we ever get, from the outside is information how we choose to act on this information is up to us.
William Glasser
There is plenty of competition in a Glasser Quality School in that there is winning but no losing.
William Glasser
We don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.
William Glasser
Sex is on the minds of most people, especially those who shouldn't be having it.

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.

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

William Glasser
Everybody needs one essential friend.
William Glasser
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.
William Glasser
I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.
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
Too many of us fail to fulfill our needs because we say no rather than yes, yes when we should say no.
William Glasser
I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.
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
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
We can pay teachers a hundred thousand dollars a year, and we'll do nothing to improve our schools as long as we keep the A, B, C, D, F grading system.
William Glasser
When we depress, we believe we are the victims of a feeling over which we have no control.
William Glasser
To counter the avoidance of intellectual challenge and responsibility, we must reduce the domination of certainty in education.
William Glasser
