EXCERPTS
“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.Category : Education
