Concerns in my minds, in words other than my own shity unpopular writing:

  1. “In fact, the assumption that smartness is something you "have" had led to such nonsensical terms as over-and underachievers.” ― Neil Postman, The End of Education: Redefining the Value of School

  2. “Textbooks, it seems to me, are enemies of education, instruments for promoting dogmatism and trivial learning. They may save the teacher some trouble, but the trouble they inflict on the minds of students is a blight and a curse.” ― Neil Postman, The End of Education: Redefining the Value of School

  3. “Thomas Jefferson. . . knew what schools were for--to ensure that citizens would know when and how to protect their liberty. . . It would not have come easily to the mind of such a man, as it does to political leaders today, that the young should be taught to read exclusively for the purpose of increasing their economic productivity.” ― Neil Postman, The End of Education: Redefining the Value of School, September 1995
