The End of Education: Redefining the Value of SchoolPostman 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.

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.


"Informal and clear...Postman's ideas about education are appealingly fresh."--New York Times Book Review

Love these. Good quality. Wore these to the beach and in the water on vacation and also wear them several days weekly to local pool. Very comfortable.

Wide toe box
The color is pretty on these water shoes. The toe box on these shoes is wide which collects water making it difficult to use them walking for exercise in the water. I bought these specifically to keep my feet protected. The sole is the perfect thickness needed but can’t use them for what they were bought for.

Good and affordable
Size: 6-7 Women/5-6 Men, Color: 1a-stripe Black-2
Pretty good and effective for the price! I wore these to volcano bay in Orlando and they got the job done. While these water shoes have great comfort, traction, versatility, and water resistance, they don’t have a lot of support on the sides of the shoe. They also are tight/snug around the ankles. Theyre very lightweight and can bend and fit in a fanny pack or purse, but if you’re looking for a supportive water shoe, these aren’t it. But if you need something to just get the job done so you can have fun, these are it!

Solid and comfy
Size: Medium, Color: Black (001)/Jet Gray
Absolutely love these sports bras. They’re simple and solid, and I love the colors! They do run small, so I’m glad I sized up. I’m usually a small, but got a medium and they fit perfectly. For reference I’m 5’5”, 125lbs, 34B. They wash well too! Just make sure to air dry them and wash on cold only.
