What school is not (Postman)
June 6th, 2006 | Published in Culture, Education, Quotes
The school must acknowledge that in almost every instance where it has tried to do what the family, the church, the economy, or the political system has failed to do, it has also failed, and at the expense of doing well what it is best suited to do.
–Neil Postman, Teaching as a Conserving Activity (1979), p. 125
