hope its not too much offtopic, but if I had children right now, i would definitely use my time differently to teach them things today than 20 years ago. in schools they still _mostly_ teach you to remember useless stuff (no, I am not talking about basics of history) instead of teaching you how to get necessary information, analyze it and get to conclusions. its not a miracle to anyone living in the age of internet that most information you need could be found on internet in less than 30 seconds (you dont need to pack it all inside your brain). ergo i would teach my children fast-reading (real fast) so they can analyze data quickly, and would teach them how to analyze facts and put them together to get to solid probative conclusions. also, how to do basic PI work :) to find data you looking for by assembling big puzzle from different places of small chunks over the net.
