Agreed. The writing of software has educational value. Looked should be at
activities that both have educational value, and take place outside of the
school environment. In order to increase a more realistic world view and
promote individualism (vs group mentality) early on.
Maybe this is best done, by having an individual experience a lot of
different 'groups' troughout her/his educational process. Computer and
internet technology also show interesting possibilities for this.
For auto-finances i also considered a merging of schools with public
libraries and commercial re-education facilities. Though this would surely
work early on, because of the already present knowledge, it would probably
not last long in a free market situation if implemented without an extra
income.
Does anyone have suggestions for good books on education reform ?
(based on promoting individuality, curiosity, realistic world view)
