Summary: A Must Read for those Committed Reforming Education
Comment: Following on Dr. Demming's principle that "Quality is Job #1," Glasser lays out a practical approach to revitalizing education in the same way that Demming revitalize the Japanese auto industry in post-WWII. By eliminating coersion, and stimulating pride in one's workmanship by emphasizing quality at every level, from student upto superintendent, it is possible improve the quality of education for all students. It is a humane approach to dealing with problems that plague our schools today: apathy, rebelliousness, low skill and so forth. Glasser boldly demands of us to abandon failing boss tactics that riddle our school for something that will bring the best in everyone.

Summary: Highly Recommended!
Comment: A copy of this book should be smuggled onto the desks of EVERY principal and superintendant. Suggests ways in which to manage schools so that students are excited about their work and want to go to school! Readers will realize that responsibility should be spread throughout the school system and not placed directly on the shoulders of the teachers! Wonderful reading!
Rating: 4
Summary: A must read for teachers and admenastrators!
Comment: In some ways indebeted to R.M. Pirsig's Amarican classic *Zen and the Art of Motercycle Mantinance*, Glasser argues that the ONLY way to improve our schools is to help students to see the quality in what they are learning and the way they are learning it. When people see that something has quality for them, then (and only then) they begin to care about it. Glasser emphasizes the need to shift from traditional boss-management, to lead-managment which is non-coercive, and so the students see the teacher as a team captain and not as an adversary whose power is resented.
