I think you are underestimating just how much we care about this topic, even though we don't write as long as you do, well, not yet anyway. I read the whole thing, even if I had to look at the main points of each paragraph and skip over some of the details. You points are well taken. Would've been nice, though, if you had an outline for your points ;-). But what you've writen is completely fine.
I am not ready to write a detailed version of my thoughts on this subject, so instead, I will give a short outline and let you guys think about that for a while. This outline is still work in progress. We will also see when I managed to put the whole thing down in writing...
I think a good education system should be all about the following things:
Learning, thinking, motivation, inspiration, application, mind-opening, exposure, diversity, understanding, experience, foundation, initiative, journey, and empowerment.
Just as important, I think that education and learning should come from the following places, and not just school by themselves:
Self, Friends, Family, School, Culture, Government, and the World.
Don't have time to elaborate that yet, so I will let you guys think about it.
