More quotes by William Glasser
I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.
William Glasser

William Glasser

William Glasser
Everybody needs one essential friend.
William Glasser

William Glasser
When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.
William Glasser
Effective teaching may be the hardest job there is.
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
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
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
Without pay, no human being will work up to their ability if he or she is not cared for and respected.
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.
