mired in the muck - educating for the past instead of the future

well, the title says it all doesn't it?

motivated kids don't need the structure of today's conventional schools to acquire the skills they need in a TIMELY WAY

driven kids in rich environments will fly through what they need to learn to do what they want to do

and the others? they need to be taught what they actually need to know (screw state standards) and set loose in project based environments that prepare them to be productive (or get them being productive and making an impact/money)
