5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. Very stimulating intellectually. Provocative., July 13 1997
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: TEACHING AS A SUBVER (Paperback)
This book is easily within the five best books I ever read. I read it through maybe 15 times. It helped explain to me my 12 years of school - what actually went on there. It has highly provocative ideas concerning what goes on in school. It still help guides me in my advanced and home studies. Highly recommended for all students, and teachers. A very good read for all who are not brain dead. I am not a teacher

5.0 out of 5 stars The effect of this book is long term., Feb 3 2002
By A Customer
I first read this book in 1972 when I was in undergraduate school and it was "news." It still affects how I think about teaching / learning to this day.
Using the truths found in Postman's book will help foster a fundamental change in the way our children learn - a change which could (literally) change the world for the better - one person at a time. It is as fresh today as when it was written and whether you are a student or a teacher - I recommend you find a copy and read it NOW.
