5.0 out of 5 stars Postman always makes the reader stop and go 'hmmmmm'., 8 May 1998
By A Customer
Postman has an uncanny ability to make everyone (no matter your background or philosophy) think about what he's saying. His writing works whether you are an academic, a student or just interested in the educational crisis. Teachers, business people, moms and dads and students should read this book. Take a minute and step outside of your preconceived ideas of what education should be and find out what it could be. Postman tells us how to make it happen. Now, let's do it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like all of Postman's work, necessary reading., 2 Jul 1998
By A Customer
So perhaps you hate to read, maybe someone has recommended this, or your professor is forcing you to read Postman, prepare yourself, your way of looking at the world we live in (modern media world) is about to change. Postman transforms everything you take for granted (television news for example) and stands it on its ear, forcing you to admit that you never really knew what you were looking at. Postman's books are for any citizen of the modern world who worries that information, and education have fat and junk food qualities that need to be curbed - indeed cut out.

Educators and parents especially should pay attention. Postman shakes your world.

5.0 out of 5 stars enlightening, 23 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Mr.Postman did it again with his keen insight and antennas always up and working. America is a first rate country that should have a first rate school system (elementary & high school) but we don't. America's school children rank 9th in mathmatics and somewhere in science. Mr.Postman has a way of telling us wakeup before it's to late. Once again,thank you Mr.Postman
