The End of Education: Redefining the Value of School

The book "Teaching as a Subversive Activity" by Neil Postman is a comprehensive guide for revitalizing education, offering practical models and inspiring ideas to restore purpose, tolerance, and respect for learning in schools.

With concrete suggestions ranging from eliminating textbooks to reorganizing the curriculum, this book provides a much-needed solution to the current education crisis.

Postman's unique approach emphasizes the importance of new "gods" or cultural conceits that can inspire students to learn and make schooling vital again.

The five proposed gods include "The Spaceship Earth," "The Fallen Angel," "The American Experiment," "The Law of Diversity," and "The Word Weavers/The World Makers." This book is a must-read for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in improving the education system.
