About the author 

Frederick Bennett received his undergraduate degree in Business Administration. When he finished, he was relieved that he would never have to be in school again. After college he began as a salesman and later established a book distribution business. 

He went back to school again and received MA in Counseling at University of New Mexico, and then a Ph.D. in Psychology from University of Utah in 1971. After the advanced degrees, he helped set up a treatment program for clergy with alcoholism and also worked in an inner city mental health center. It was there that he first confronted the reality that some people without education could not get jobs, regardless of how much they wanted to work. 

He directed public addiction treatment programs in Colorado and Florida. Thereafter, he established, owned and directed a group of private addiction treatment centers. He also became interested in computers and began to write programs to handle the paperwork for his company. 

In 1991 he sold the business, moved to Sarasota, Florida, and began new projects. One was writing a computer program for artists, which he markets throughout the United States. He also started to think seriously about the problems in education and spent several years studying the subject. His wife, who was a chemist and an excellent teacher was of immense help. Finally, he sought to bring together what he had acquired from his studying and education, from his experience working with people at all levels, and from his knowledge of computers. The result is the book, Computers as Tutors: Solving the Crisis in Education.
