More quotes by William Glasser

When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.
William Glasser
The faster you go, the more students you leave behind. It doesn't matter how much or how fast you teach. The true measure is how much students have learned.
William Glasser
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
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.
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
There is plenty of competition in a Glasser Quality School in that there is winning but no losing.
