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.

Too many of us fail to fulfill our needs because we say no rather than yes, yes when we should say no.
William Glasser
Image
To counter the avoidance of intellectual challenge and responsibility, we must reduce the domination of certainty in education.

A friend of mine, a dedicated golfer, shot a hole in one playing by himself. Disaster.
William Glasser
Image
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?

You can acquire a lot of knowledge without ever going to school.

Everybody needs one essential friend.
William Glasser
Image
We can teach a lot of things, but if the teacher can't relate by talking to a group of friendly students, he'll never be a competent teacher.
William Glasser
Image
I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.
William Glasser
Image
To focus on discipline is to ignore the real problem: We will never be able to get students (or anyone else) to be in good order if, day after day, we try to force them to do what they do not find satisfying.
William Glasser

I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.
