More quotes by William Glasser
Using no control and using humor will build a relationship and make a dent to where the client puts the counselor in their quality world and then begins to relate and seek out the counselor. Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world.

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.
William Glasser
When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.
William Glasser
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
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
If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve.

This is at the heart of all good education, where the teacher asks students to think and engages them in encouraging dialogues, constantly checking for understanding and growth.
William Glasser
You can acquire a lot of knowledge without ever going to school.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.
William Glasser
Too many of us fail to fulfill our needs because we say no rather than yes, yes when we should say no.
William Glasser
Prior to being allowed to enter the profession, prospective teachers should be asked to talk with a group of friendly students for at least half an hour and be able to engage them in an interesting conversation about any subject the prospective teacher wants to talk about.

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
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.
William Glasser
The day we stop playing will be the day we stop learning.
William Glasser
We learn... 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we both hear and see 70% of what is discussed 80% of what we experience personally 95% of what we teach to someone else
William Glasser
The Compassionate Classroom is a fabulous book! If teachers will read it, they can transform their classrooms.
William Glasser
Don't marry someone you would not be friends with if there was no sex between you.
William Glasser
If we had in this room a hundred teachers, good teachers from good schools, and asked them to define the word education, there would be very little general agreement.
William Glasser
It is almost impossible for anyone, even the most ineffective among us, to continue to choose misery after becoming aware that it is a choice.
William Glasser
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.
