The Compassionate Classroom is a fabulous book! If teachers will read it, they can transform their classrooms.
William Glasser
Everybody needs one essential friend.
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
We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.
William Glasser
When we depress, we believe we are the victims of a feeling over which we have no control.

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
Good or bad, everything we do is our best choice at that moment.
William Glasser
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!

What students lack in school is an intellectual relationship or conversation with the teacher.
William Glasser
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.
William Glasser
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
If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve.
William Glasser
I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.
William Glasser
Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
William Glasser
You can acquire a lot of knowledge without ever going to school.
William Glasser
As long as acquiring knowledge is the educational goal of schools, educational opportunities will be limited, as they are now, to affluent families.
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
Unlike the weak, the strong neither give up nor are driven by pain into rash or stupid behavior. They don't like pain any more than anyone else, but they are not willing to settle for short-term relief if it means reducing their options later. They don't rob Peter to pay Paul, they face reality now.
William Glasser
Sex is on the minds of most people, especially those who shouldn't be having it.
