Analysis
Educatio:
BY CHRIS BRUTON
Gamecock Staff Writer
"Teaching As A Subversive
Activity" was the lecture topic, as
advertised, of Dr. Charles
Weingartner at the B.A.
Auditorium, Sept. 19.
Weingartner's book, Teaching
As A Subversive Activity,
coauthored by Neil Postman, has
sold more than a, million copies,
and has been translated to at least
10 foreign countries. The in
fluential book proposes changes
and different approaches in
education which attempt to shift
the emphasis in the roles of teacher
and student.
Weingartner received a B.A. and
B.S. degree from Syracuse
University and a doctorate from
Columbia University. He has had
broad experience in education,
having taught in high schools and
various Northeastern colleges,
including Columbia. He is
currently a Professor of Education
at the University of South Florida
at Tampa.
Weingartner, however, clearly
demonstrated that a lecture topic
and a book by the same name must
not necessarily coincide. The
evening became a series of
anecdotes, personal reminiscences
and statistics. He began the very
informal lecture to a near capacity
audience in the B.A. Auditorium
by repeatedly proclaiming, "I
don't know whether I have
anything worth saying."
Weingartner named me present
age, "The Age of Redefinition."
He said if an institution wants to
exist in our time it must redefine
itself. He parodied this idea with
an example of Peter's Lutheran
Church in New York City. "They
tore the old church down and
redefined it as a condominum
St
n policies I
church, more culturally oriented.
They sold the church's air space to
a neighboring company in order to
bring about the redefinition. "
Education must redefine itself in
such a way that it may prepare
young peoDle for a totally different
world, he believes. A complete
change must be made in the mode
of education as it has the greatest
effect on society.
"Schools operate the same as
they did in the fifteenth century,
the days of the manuscript, in both
method and function," he said.
Weingartner characterized our
way of thinking as "Old Think"
and advocated "New Think". But
no definition was offered for this
term. He also supported a reversal
to the ethical notion more is better
to less is better and a return to
nature.
"It is not so much that we don't
know enough as what we know is
not true anymore," he said. There
is a great amount of knowledge
today but it is nor used to solve the
problems of today." Weingartner
evidenced our growing knowledge
by predicting in the next century,

As in his book, Weingartner
discussed in the lecture, sponsored
by the University Union's Ideas
and Issues Committe. terms used
in education. "Material is said to
be 'covered' which means to be
obscured. Students work for a
degree to obtain this obscurity," he
said. He said, this is in ine with
The Vaccination Theory of
Education "a subject is something
you 'take' and when you have
taken it, you have 'had' it, and if
you have had it you are immune to 4
it and need not ake it again."
A large portion of the lecture
consisted of statistics relating the
future growth of population, urban
centers, and technological
products. Weingartner said there
will be such urban growth man will
gain many more acquaintances but
no depth or meaning to his
relationships. "Man must learn to
co-exist with the rural com
munities," he said.
But those who have not read
Weingartner's book, no insight was
given into it in his lecture, nor any
reason why they should read
Teaching As A Subversive Ac
tivity.
