children lying teaching
The answer lies in preventing failures not in looking for better ways to fix the children who are failing.
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.
teaching test-scores tests
If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve.
teacher jobs teaching
Effective teaching may be the hardest job there is.
inspirational teacher teaching
When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.

american-psychologist fulfill later needs perhaps yes
Too many of us fail to fulfill our needs because we say no rather than yes, or perhaps later in life, yes when we should say no.
deeply involve persuade process quality students work
If we are to persuade all students to do quality work, we must involve them deeply in the process of evaluating their own work as they do it! This is concurrent evaluation.
accept cannot competence high less work
In any place work is done, you cannot accept anything less than competence if you want high quality.
real order discipline
To focus on discipline is to ignore the real problem: We will never be able to get students (or anyone else) to be in good order if, day after day, we try to force them to do what they do not find satisfying.
running school helping-others
Running a school where the students all succeed, even if some students have to help others to make the grade, is good preparation for democracy.
thinking whole-picture improving
I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.
victim over-it passive
To be depressed or neurotic is passive. It happened to us; we are its victim, and we have no control over it.
real school world
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?
