More From William Glasser
- "I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge."
- "I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture."
- "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."
