  1. Education & Paleolithic Security • Saber-tooth Curriculum ChV: EBingham

  2. The Problem • Dr. Pediwell tells Raymond that his dissatisfaction with teachers viewed as organized laborers arises from his lack of understanding the historical relationship between labor & education

  3. The Story • Fishing offered a problem in that everyone was able to fish (some more or less skillfully/successfully than others) & an opportunity to capitalize on this ability arose. • A few wise fisherman did all of the fishing in trade for fishing space • This spread to antelope snaring & bear hole capturing

  4. Before long the fish, antelope, & bear chiefs had to hire help but paid lowly wages that hardly fed an entire family. • The chiefs accumulated so much wealth it was necessary to reduce their workforce making several starve. • Govt. stepped in giving all craft rights to business chiefs in exchange for food to feed village. • Free market competition gave greater & excessivewealth to business chiefs • The tribal government stepped in & imposed taxes to provide for the unemployed

  5. One man suggests everyone go back to work so that everyone again can provide for themselves • Citizens dislike the idea when others point out it is an un-Paleolithic gesture to go against the chiefs & tradition • A teacher overhears this debate & suggests to his comrades they modify education to teach citizens the basics necessary for Paleolithic survival

  6. In the End • The other teachers say school teachers cannot change peoples lives in ways that go against the chiefs (who run the schools) wishes for fear of being fired • Nothing is done & eventually the lows of society expand to the classroom. • Is fear preventing society from bettering itself? • If education can fix the problem but is up against people who refuse to change, is there a solution?
