"Informal and clear... Postman's ideas about education are appealingly fresh."
-The New York Times Book Review
From the acclaimed author of The Disappearance of Childhood and Technopoly comes an original and ceaselessly provocative analysis of America's current crisis in education. Neil Postman, one of our most incisive social critics, suggests that the current crisis in our educational system derives from its failure to supply students with a transcendent, unifying "narrative" like those that inspired earlier generations. Instead, today's schools promote the false "gods" of economic utility, consumerism, technology, or ethnic separatism and resentment.
What alternative strategies can we use to instill our children with a sense of global citizenship, healthy intellectual skepticism, respect of America's traditions, and appreciation of its diversity? In answering this question, The End of Education restores meaning and common sense to the arena in which they are most urgently needed. For the sake of our children, it deserves to become a classic.
"Any of [Postman's proposals) would bring an exciting, unifying focus to a school's curriculum."
-Christian Science Monitor
"[Postman's books are] insightful, even important."
-Washington Times
