Dr. Marco Antonio Moreira
moreira@if.ufrgs.br 
http://www.if.ufrgs.br/~moreira/apsigcritesp.pdf
His article in Spanish deserves recognition for keeping people aware of Neil Postman.   (Note to Dr.  Moreira:  Did you ever put the Postman questions to your students?  If so, what were some memorable answers?  What happened to your class's culture and environment before and after you distributed the questions?)
Podemos, a fin de cuentas, aprender sólo en relación con lo que ya sabemos. Contrariamente al sentido común, eso significa que si no sabemos mucho, nuestra capacidad de aprender no es muy grande. Esta idea – por sí sola – implica un gran cambio en la mayoría de las metáforas que dirigen las políticas y los procedimientos de las escuelas. (Postman y Weingartner, 1969, p. 62)
