It is both impressive and depressing that a book about education written 23 years ago may have more salience now that at the time it was written. “The End of Education” addresses many of the complicated question about public education with a perspective that is simultaneously conservative and radically subversive. Postman defends the traditional role of public education in crafting a common culture, the conservative bits, while outlining curriculum content and pedagogical approaches that could please much of today’s SJW left.
