Editing The History of Education (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Understanding</span> ==
The history of education is understood through '''Accessibility''' and '''Control'''.

'''1. From the Elite to the Mass''':
For most of history, "Education" was a "Secret Weapon" for the rich.
* Only the 1% could read the "Sacred Books."
* The Printing Press "Leaked" the secret, leading to the Protestant Reformation and the Scientific Revolution.
* The 1900s was the century of "Universal Literacy"—the first time in history that almost every human could read.

'''2. The Factory School (Industrial Age)''':
When the world moved from "Farms" to "Factories," we needed a new kind of human.
* Schools were designed to teach "Punctuality," "Obedience," and "Repetitive Tasks."
* This is why we have "Bells" that ring every hour and why students sit in "Rows."
* Today, we are in a "Post-Industrial" world, but our schools are still "Ghost Factories."

'''3. The "Subversive" Education''':
Education has always been used to "Keep people in their place," but it is also how people "Get out."
* Colonial powers used schools to "Make locals think like Europeans."
* Slaves in the US were forbidden from learning to read because "Knowledge is power."
* Resistance movements (like the Freedom Schools in the 1960s) used education as a tool for "Liberation."

'''The 'Great Books' Concept''': The idea (popular in the mid-20th century) that a "Real Education" means reading the same 50-100 classic books that built the Western world.
