The End of Education: Redefining the Value of School Tapa blanda - 1996

de Neil Postman

From the acclaimed author of The Disappearance of Childhood and Technopoly comes an original and provocative analysis of America's current crisis in education--a scathing critique of schools which merely teach students to earn more, buy more, worship technology, and cling to their ethnic differences.


Información de la editorial

Postman suggests that the current crisis in our educational system derives from its failure to supply students with a translucent, unifying "narrative" like those that inspired earlier generations. Instead, today's schools promote the false "gods" of economic utility, consumerism, 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.
"Informal and clear...Postman's ideas about education are appealingly fresh."--New York Times Book Review
