Students, what is your fantasy education system?

Hi everyone!

Up to this point in my life I've been fascinated by how human being learn and how we grow up to become who we are, mostly because I've been busy doing both of those things myself. But that fascination didn't turn into a passion until recently when I got incredibly interested in how people think, how people learn, and how our species grow intellectually. That interest is compounded by the talks of globalization of the modern world and how American need to become more competitive against foreign countries such as India and China, where a lot of American job are getting outsourced to, and one of the keys to become more competitive turns out to be our education system. So, imagine my surprise when I discover, or rather, come to believe, that this all ties together.

Now, my intention for this thread is not to debate any of those things. I believe that's for another thread another time. What I really want to see is you students coming up with education systems you desire the most.


So, the challenge is, come up with an education system most suitable for yourself that could potentially replace kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, and as far up as undergraduate degree (or even higher) if you really believe it is necessary. Be reasonable about the necessary skills and knowledge a child must learn when they are growing up, but other than that, feel free to go nuts. Or you can just go nuts completely.

There are many directions you can take. You can do it the easy way and come up with a system where you will have the most fun in, or you can do it the hard way and come up with a system that will do you the most good. Or you can do a little of both. I can’t tell you what to do, you must decide for yourself. The one thing I want to get out of this intellectual exercise is to understand the kind of learning experience that works well for a person by looking at the education system they most desire. The bottom line is, I want to see, what worked, and what you think will work.

The rest is up to you, and we will see where this exercise leads to. I will participate in this exercise as well, and I am eager to see what everyone comes up with.

Have fun!
