Ford's experience, Glasser and PCT

********** FROM CHUCK TUCKER 930527 **********

     All of the teachers and administrators that I know (they are
     friends of Button and/or students of mine) know Control Theory
     through Glasser's THE QUALITY SCHOOL. When I teach and teachers
     ask for materials about education I teach them PCT first and give
     them Bill's piece on the net last Summer on the topic, Gary's
     article and PARTS of Glasser's books - but I try to teach PCT
     first. If they have Gasser`s book first they are usually confused
     enough ("How can this work in a school?") that there is an opening
     to educate. I have not met anyone yet who can understand BCP w/o
     much assistance and weaning so I simply use other materials.

     Here is a question that I recently wrote for a student taking a
     doctorial comprehensive examination in education:

       William Glasser in his book THE QUALITY SCHOOL asserts
       that the central problem with our educational system is
       that we employ a faulty theory of human behavior. Accepting
       his assertion as accurate, outline his theory of human
       behavior and describe how its application would alter and
       improve the educational-learning-teaching-administrative
       activities in schools

    Fortunately the student (who was the mother on one of my videos
    where her daughter made a cake) had taken my class or could have
    never answered this question adequately for me. BTW she did a
    good job answering the question and is very interested as an
    Assistant Principal in applying PCT in her school.
