From the mid 60s to present day Neil Postman has been writing an d teaching his views on technology making any of his works a worthy topic in this field.Technology is changing every day. Being that this book was published over 20 years ago one would infer that it is out of date but on the contrary many of his theories on the subject are still being analyzed.

New York Delta Books. In this book the authors take a look at the problems as they seem them with the education system in America and propose solutions to this problem.As I have already verbalise in this bibliography Postman is more than a worthy source to analyze concerning education and testing. This book has theories and judicial decisions stated by the authors that some may agree or disagree with but in my humble opinion it is the problems that are pointed out in this book that are most concern ing especially considering that it was written in 1969 and we still have many of these problems. While the authors are very opinionated in their ideas they promote a new way of thinking about our problems with education in America.Even though this book was written in 1969 I feel the ideas and solutions to education make this book worthy of a main resource.
