Every single major push in education has made it worse and right now it's really bad because everything we've done is de-humanizing education. It's destroying the possibility of the teacher and the student having a warm, friendly, intellectual relationship.

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.

To be depressed or neurotic is passive. It happened to us; we are its victim, and we have no control over it.

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.

Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.

Since there will be no one left to talk peace after the next war, it makes good sense to break with tradition and hold the peace conference first.

The answer lies in preventing these failures, not in looking for better ways to fix the people who are failing.
