There is so much hype and talk about this it's making me sick. Too much tunnel vision. We need a drastic innovation. As in a streamlined system built for our age. It needs to be agile.

We do education like we build products but we all know that after a four year degree more often than not we don't have 'product/ market fit'. We should train, test and iterate in small time frames.

I think some of the others may agree with me...just teahch through technology. Make more places like khanacademy etc. Technology will disrupt the current system and through it people will be able to meet and stabilize a new system since it'll show people that learning is in new ways is possible. Bill and Melinda Gates foundation are funding Khanacademy and are excited about many sites like them, with technology we can answer more questions faster and help teachers focus on answering important questions while not repeating menial ones.
