Part 1:
Book Reflection
 The things that are standing out to me is that a 70-yearbook can provide
enlightenment on today's issue. The book seems quite funny which can be enjoyed by
anyone who does not have an interest in curriculum or education. The gap between
education and application in the real world is exposed in this book (The Saber-Tooth
Curriculum, Classic Edition. 2019).
 Some questions that arise are what schools teach and why? The
curriculum has been a long controversial subject. The main controversy that arises is
what literacy mean? Does it mean only academic knowledge or it means knowledge that
is suitable for vocation, health, and quality of life? Should education have relevance to
the here and now or should it be time-honored? Many years later is it possible to catch
fish with fare hands?
 The book is a sarcastic fairy tale which points the flaws in the education
system. Humans have "grain" which if teachers consider will help in more learning
effectively. The reason Allie cannot climb trees is that she is an alligator not because she
didn't give her best. According to the author today much time is spent on the happenings
of yesterday rather than wanting to change the future. This is the reason we make
excuses. The book offers a viewpoint on the things that went wrong. In the Paleolithic
version of higher education though the teaching became obsolete the students were taught
the same things over and over again. They taught subjects that were not needed really.
Education evolves to suit what society needs to be open-minded while analyzing the
changes is the responsibility of us.
