"To counter the avoidance of intellectual challenge and responsibility, we must reduce the domination of certainty in education."

Education

"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."

Quality

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

Education

"If everyone could learn that what is right for me does not make it right for anyone else, the world would be a much happier place."

Acceptance

"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."

Democracy

"It is almost impossible for anyone, even the most ineffective among us, to continue to choose misery after becoming aware that it is a choice."

Choice

"If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve."

Education

"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?"

Work

"We may be up against a stone wall, but we don't have to bloody our heads against it unless we choose to."

Choice

"There is plenty of competition in a Glasser Quality School in that there is winning but no losing."
