A no-holds-barred assault on outdated teaching methods--with dramatic and practical proposals on how education can be made relevant to today's world.Praise for Teaching As a Subversive Activity "A healthy dose of Postman and Weingartner is a good thing: if they make even a dent in the pious . . . Experience is no use in the world of Apollo 8. American classroom, the book will be worthwhile."--New York Times Book Review "Teaching and knowledge are subversive in that they necessarily substitute awareness for guesswork, and knowledge for experience.

However, it is also necessary to know the effect of Apollo 8 in creating a new Global Theatre in which student and teacher alike are looking for roles. It is simply necessary to know. Postman and Weingartner make excellent theatrical producers in the new Global Theatre."--Marshall McLuhan
