Want Kids to Win the Future? Turn Them Into Makers — and Sci-Fi Fans | Underwire | Wired.com: "Kids, when they make, are actually preparing themselves better for the jobs they’ll have in the future than [they are by] getting straight A’s.”"

"Teachers" should be "make" facilitators and the kahnacademy should be the teacher of standard knowledge. Replace the books with raw materials: paint, wood, computers, solder, Legos, whatever kids need to pursue projects passionately.
