“You can acquire a lot of knowledge without ever going to school.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
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.
This is at the heart of all good education, where the teacher asks students to think and engages them in encouraging dialogues, constantly checking for understanding and growth.
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.
We don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.
