A New Look at School Failure and School Success.
Glasser, William
Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n8 p596-602 Apr 1997
The cause of school and marriage failure is that most people practice stimulus-response psychology. Choice theory helps nurture the warm, supportive human relationships that students need for school success and couples need for marital success. Satisfying four basic psychological needs (for belonging, power, freedom, and fun) helps humans create "quality worlds." (MLH)
