EXCERPTS

“Whenever things didn’t go your way, did you blame someone else? Did you say, “He made me do it!”? Did you ever hear anyone else say, “He made me mad, that’s why I hit him!” or “She started it by calling me a name! I had to call her one back!” These people are playing “The Blame Game.” They believe other people are responsible for what they choose to do or not to do. They are actually allowing their lives to be controlled by the behavior of others. DIRECTIONS: Have you ever played “The Blame Game”? In this space, write about something you did that you really thought was somebody or something else’s fault… Let your partner read what you wrote and you read what your partner wrote. Together, try to figure out who or what you each were allowing to control your situation.”– Carleen Glasser, M.A.

    “In Chapter Ten of Choice Theory, I stressed the importance of redefining education. As long as we keep the present definition, education is acquiring knowledge- a definition obsolete since books became cheap and easily available- we will fail to improve school achievement. Using this definition, there has been no measurable improvement in the last fifty years no matter how we measure school success. We need to move to a new definition, education is using and improving knowledge that is congruent with recent findings on how the brain works and with the information age we have now entered.” — William Glasser, M.D.

  • Schools Without Failure

    “Much has been written on the difficulties of improving education in the central city. From personal experience, I believe that most people who write about these schools have not raised the critical issue. They have been so obsessed with the social, environmental, and cultural factors affecting students that they have not looked deeply enough into the role of education itself has played in causing students to fail, not only in the central city but in all schools. It is the faults and shortcomings of the system itself that I wish to examine, and make suggestions to correct. — William Glasser, M.D.

  • Choice Theory in the Classroom

    “Once a teacher begins to consider abandoning the worker role altogether, she will want to learn what she can do as a manger which goes far beyond the traditional concept of direct, reward and punish. For example, unlike traditional managers, who spend little time worrying about whether the working conditions are satisfying, modern managers spend a lot of time structuring and restructuring the workplace to make it more satisfying because they believe that satisfied workers are much more productive.”— William Glasser, M.D.
