More quotes by William Glasser
What students lack in school is an intellectual relationship or conversation with the teacher.
William Glasser
I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.
William Glasser
Since there will be no one left to talk peace after the next war, it makes good sense to break with tradition and hold the peace conference first.
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
No human being will work hard at anything unless they believe that they are working for competence.
William Glasser
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.
William Glasser
The Compassionate Classroom is a fabulous book! If teachers will read it, they can transform their classrooms.
William Glasser
There is plenty of competition in a Glasser Quality School in that there is winning but no losing.
William Glasser
When we depress, we believe we are the victims of a feeling over which we have no control.
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
Don't marry someone you would not be friends with if there was no sex between you.
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
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
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 are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.
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.
William Glasser
The more a person perceives that he/she is loved, the less they will interfere with the lives of others.
William Glasser
The day we stop playing will be the day we stop learning.
William Glasser
Everybody needs one essential friend.
