Required reading for my Master’s degree! I actually enjoyed the viewpoints that Postman has about education. I recommend if you’re interested in education!

Not an easy read, but an essential one for anyone seriously contending with the problems inherent in American public education today. Postman's prescience is almost uncanny; reading his warnings about the over-reliance on technology couldn't be more spot-on in light of today's app-addicted teens. He does come off as a bit of a curmudgeon at times, however, and his writing style can be pompous and hard to take. But get past that and what lies beneath is an unflinching assessment of what's wrong with how we educate students and Postman's admittedly lofty suggestions for how to remedy it. I wish I could say I came away from the book inspired, but I can say that I was enlightened and somewhat vindicated in knowing that some of my gut feelings are validated by a theorist as brilliant and intellectual as Postman.
