All of his five children have attended college, and one of his daughters is the first person in the family to have earned a doctorate. All of this has been made possible through dedicated efforts and the availabiltiy of scholarships. Glaser returned to Illinois State Universtiy in 1960, first, as a graduate assistant, and later as a faculty assistant in the Social Studies Department. He completed a master's in education in 1963. From 1961 to 1993, Glaser taught social studies at Walnut High School in Walnut. From 1990 until 1993, Glaser was a member of the Committee of 10 that developed the plans for the eventual consolidation schools and school districts that would become the Bureau Valley School District 340.
