as a Subversive Activity: A no-holds-barred assault on outdated teaching methods
-- with dramatic and practical proposals on how education can be made relevant
to today's world by Neil Postman and Charles Weingartner. Delacorte,
1971. Hardcover with dust jacket. The author likens the educational system today
to "driving a multimillion dollar sports car, screaming,' Faster! Faster!' while
peering fixedly into the rearview mirror. It is an awkward way to try to tell
where we are, much less where we are going, and it has been sheer dumb luck that
we have not smashed ourselves to bits -- so far. We have paid almost exclusive
attention to the car, equipping it with all sorts of fantastic gadgets and an
engine that will propel it at ever increasing speeds, but we seem to have
forgotten where we wanted to go with it." The author believes that change is the
most striking characteristic of our world and that the educational system has
not yet recognized this. He is trying to shock it awake. 219 pages. BTH-3519.
