We May Be Up Against A Stone

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.

Unlike The Weak, The Strong Neither Give Up Nor Are Driven By Pain Into Rash Or Stupid Behavior. They Don't Like Pain Any More Than Anyone Else, But They Are Not Willing To Settle For Short-term Relief If It Means Reducing Their Options Later. They Don't Rob Peter To Pay Paul, They Face Reality Now.

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?

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.

Today Much Of What We Call Education Is Merely Knowledge Gathering And Remembering. Problem Solving And Thinking, Never Strong Parts Of Our Educational System, Have Been Downgraded In All But A Few Scientific Subjects.
