Idealistic AND practical

I read this and Glasser's prequel, The Quality School. While the first book makes many good points, it is not very useful to the teacher. Glasser appeared to use that book to explain how principles of the quality workplace can be applied to the classroom. This book, The Quality School Teacher, is much more hands-on and gives practical advice on how to get students to achieve quality work. This goes against many traditional methods...some may accuse it of being idealistic and impractical. I believe it is idealistic and very practical. This is one of those books you'll want to keep around and refer to from time to time to be inspired when things aren't working in your class. I don't understand why the other reviewer gave this only two stars but had only good things to say about it.
