I disagree.  school is not there to teach you procedural knowledge.  school is there to teach you how to learn.  once this lesson is properly instilled the rest is just frosting on the cake so to speak.  fast moving technology doesn't demand people who learned about XYZ in school, it demands people who can constantly learn new things throughout their life.<p>we need a massive improvement in education because we have been backsliding from "teaching children critical thinking skills" to "make sure they know XYZ so we can shove them along."  When you subsidize something you typically get more of it.  We've been subsidizing crappy education for decades.
