Often, what lacks in these ideas is nuance and middle ground. The intent is right but the approach is lazy. What do you think of this approach: Gamify learning! Students get to learn sort of at their own pace but like gaming, they fall into different levels. Let them compete and be ranked against others at their level nationally but also be in different teams of less than 10 students at their school. Allow them to be at different levels for different subjects and attend regular in person classes with kids in their team/level. The grade system stays, you still need to pass all the subjects to progress a grade, it just might for example take a 17 year old 5 years to move to grade 8 from 7 and 1 year to finish highschool because they sucked at math in the 7th grade and it took them 4 years to reach grade 8 level and the 1year to focus on math for grades 9-12, because they finished every other subject at every level and grade. They could pair up and talk with students, mentors, teachers across the country to get exposure and pursue their passions. I am sorry but I am shocked at how unimaginative technologists are getting. It's like the disruptor mindset is dying off.
