In this episode, I tackle the history of education from prehistoric hunter-gatherer days all the way to today. We'll look at the many motives that have shaped the education and formal schooling of children from the agricultural revolution, through ancient times, to the protestant reformation and the industrial revolution. Through it all, motives have been... questionable. We educated children because we needed them to work the land. We educated them because we needed to train them as future politicians and soldiers. We needed them to be scribes. We needed them to be able to read the Bible. We needed them to be factory workers. But what about the children? What about what's best for them? Let's fix that.
