What students lack in school is an intellectual relationship or conversation with the teacher.
William Glasser
Image
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
Image
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.
