Education utilize on different Societies

5. •Hunter-gatherer adults
did not direct children's
education or in other ways
tell them what to do.
Children and even
adolescents were free to
play and explore, on their
own, in their own chosen
ways, “from dawn to dusk.”

6. Research at a modern-day
democratic school designed to
facilitate self-education
demonstrates that our hunter-
gatherer educative instincts are
quite adequate for education
today, given an appropriate
educational environment. The
ideal environment for such
education—found both in hunter-
gatherer bands and at the school
studied—is one in which young
people

7. (a) have unlimited free time and
much space in which to play and
explore;
• (b) can mix freely with other
children of all ages;
• (c) have access to a variety of
knowledgeable and caring adults;
• (d) have access to culturally
relevant tools and equipment and
are free to play and explore with
those items;
• (e) are free to express and
debate any ideas that they wish to
express and debate;

8. • (f) are free from bullying (which
includes freedom from being
ordered around arbitrarily by
adults); and
• (g) have a true voice in the
group’s decision-making process.
The per-student cost required to
create such settings is less than
half that of the average for our
current public schools.

11. Education, religion, and politics
remain relatively informal in horticultural
and pastoral societies. Boys learn how to
plant and harvest crops. domesticate large
animals. and fight. Girls learn how to do
domestic chores, care for younger
children, and sometimes, cultivate the
land In horticultural societies. Religion
is based on ancestor worship; in pastoral
societies. religion is based on belief in a
god or gods. who are believed to take an
active role in human affairs. Politics
is based on a simple form of government
that is backed up by military force.

• “While they are reading natural history might
not little gardening, planting, grafting, inoculating
be taught and practice, and now and then
excursions made to the neighboring plantations of
the best farms, their methods observed and
reasoned upon for the information of youth, the
improvement of agricultural being useful to all
skill in it no disparagement to any?”
