Blanca_Gregory is definitely right about the lack of evolution in public schools. If you took a public school from a hundred year ago and one from today, they would differ so little. That's a bit startling, if you think about how many other things have changed the the world. I honestly don't have much hope for public schools. I definitely don't plan to ever send my children to public school unless they really want to. Peter Thiel is funding kids to quit college and develop their business ideas (https://www.fastcompany.com/1755089/peter-thiel-gives-whiz-kids-100k-quit-college-start-businesses). Praxis is another great example of a company that is helping young people gain real work experience instead of a degree. I think this type of practical education, when people do what they actually want, is the future. I am a big supporter of the unschooling movement.
