About this Event
Join us for the second installment of the PHENND Book Club:
The End of Education: Redefining the Value of School by Neil Postman.
From the Penguin Random House website:
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.
Note, this event will be hybrid. Please RSVP for either an in-person ticket or a virtual ticket. Attendees will get to choose the next book selection and date.
