Intended for teachers who are trying to implement Dr. Glasser's teaching principles, the author sets out to answer the question "What do I do now with the students who disrupt my class while I am in the process of putting these Quality School ideas into practice?". The book deals with a range of topics: the importance of good relationships in teaching; the problems in the ABCDF grading system; non-external control approaches to the disruptive child; ideas for the first contact with a class; the importance of a competence based education with ideas for creating this in different subjects and, finally, the role of the Principal in a Glasser Quality School. Glasser advocates that competence should replace the grading system and that teachers should work “with” students rather than work “on” them, punishing them for what they don't know. William Glasser, M.D. is an American psychiatrist born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1925, and developer of Reality Therapy and Choice Theory. His ideas, which focus on personal choice, personal responsibility and personal transformation, are considered controversial by mainstream psychiatrists, who focus instead on classifying psychiatric syndromes, and who often prescribe psychotropic medications to treat mental disorders.
