More quotes by William Glasser
I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.
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!
William Glasser
We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.
William Glasser
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
I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.
William Glasser
To be depressed or neurotic is passive. It happened to us we are its victim, and we have no control over it.
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
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
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
The answer lies in preventing these failures, not in looking for better ways to fix the people who are failing.
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
We can pay teachers a hundred thousand dollars a year, and we'll do nothing to improve our schools as long as we keep the A, B, C, D, F grading system.
William Glasser
Good or bad, everything we do is our best choice at that moment.
William Glasser
If everyone could learn that what is right for me does not make it right for anyone else, the world would be a much happier place.
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
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
Since there will be no one left to talk peace after the next war, it makes good sense to break with tradition and hold the peace conference first.
William Glasser
Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.
William Glasser
When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.
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.
