disaster holes golfers
A friend of mine, a dedicated golfer, shot a hole in one playing by himself. Disaster.
teacher book communication
The Compassionate Classroom is a fabulous book! If teachers will read it, they can transform their classrooms.
labels trouble ifs
When we label anyone 'bad', we will have more trouble dealing with him than if we could have settled for a lesser label.
educational school thinking
We don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.
thinking acquiring-knowledge defined
I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.
strong educational thinking
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.
teacher book teaching
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.
depressing believe feelings
When we depress, we believe we are the victims of a feeling over which we have no control.
teaching test-scores tests
If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve.
wall may stones
We may be up against a stone wall, but we don't have to bloody our heads against it unless we choose to.
teacher school agreement
If we had in this room a hundred teachers, good teachers from good schools, and asked them to define the word education, there would be very little general agreement.
school acquire
You can acquire a lot of knowledge without ever going to school.
teacher school years
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.
needs failing should
Too many of us fail to fulfill our needs because we say no rather than yes, yes when we should say no.
