I'll have a look. We will definitely agree that there is a lot wrong with US schooling but the devil's in the details.
Broadly, there's a lot to like about human nature, but I don't believe in it to that degree.
I like the other commenter's idea to decouple learning from exams, but I'm not sure it would work at all ages, and it mostly just solves the problem that I, personally, had in school: being forced through things I already knew or learned extremely quickly. Others have different problems I'm sure.
I will say Montessori has solutions to some of the problems in this essay and my kids go to a Montessori school.
