More quotes by William Glasser
What we get, and all we ever get, from the outside is information how we choose to act on this information is up to us.
William Glasser
When we label anyone 'bad', we will have more trouble dealing with him than if we could have settled for a lesser label.
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
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.
William Glasser
I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.
William Glasser
The day we stop playing will be the day we stop learning.
William Glasser
Effective teaching may be the hardest job there is.
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
Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
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.
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
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
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 don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.
William Glasser
The more a person perceives that he/she is loved, the less they will interfere with the lives of others.
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
I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.
William Glasser
If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve.
William Glasser
We can teach a lot of things, but if the teacher can't relate by talking to a group of friendly students, he'll never be a competent teacher.
William Glasser
You can acquire a lot of knowledge without ever going to school.
