Comments by the reviewers:

“Bennett’s ideas are radical; they would involve a top-to-bottom restructuring of the American educational system. But every conceivable Band-Aid has been tried on the present system and nothing has worked. He makes a strong case – at the very least, it should be seriously examined by educators.
    This is an important book. It would be a shame if it were ignored or dismissed without careful consideration.”
      From a review by Rick Sullivan, Ph.D. in the Grand Rapids Press, July 2000

“ this text moves the conversation on educational technology forward.”
      From a review by Professor David Stoloff, Chairman of the Education Department, Eastern Connecticut State University in Choice, January 2000

“this book should be read by anyone interested in the future of education in this country.”
      From a review by Carrington Dixon in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram,

“ An innovation that actually could revolutionize our schools is shaped here.”
      From a review by Parent Council who selected the book as "Outstanding"
 

“Computers As Tutors is innovative, challenging, at times provocative -- and always, highly recommended reading for aspiring and practicing educators at ever grade level.”
     The Midwest Book Reviews

“Computers as Tutors should be read by all educators and parents.”
     From a review in The Science Spiders by Kathleen Kain, Ph.D.
