What happened in the past that was painful has a great deal to do with what we are today, but revisiting this painful past can contribute little or nothing to what we need to do now.
William Glasser
Image
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.

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!

Image
When we depress, we believe we are the victims of a feeling over which we have no control.
William Glasser
Image
There is no real reason to fail a child, Once children start failing, they begin to believe that they can't do anything. They give up.
