"As long as acquiring knowledge is the educational goal of schools, educational opportunities will be limited, as they are now, to affluent families"

- William Glasser

About this Quote

This quote by William Glasser recommends that as long as schools prioritize the acquisition of understanding, instructional opportunities will stay restricted to those from affluent households. This is because those from more privileged backgrounds are most likely to have access to resources that can help them obtain knowledge, such as tutors, independent schools, and other educational products. Those from less privileged backgrounds may not have access to these resources, and thus may not be able to acquire the exact same level of understanding as those from more fortunate backgrounds. This quote highlights the need for instructional reform to make sure that all trainees have access to the very same academic chances, despite their household's financial circumstance.
