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

William Glasser
If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve.
William Glasser
I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.
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.
