Unfortunately, the current public system fails to educate very well, and a lot of private schools are based on the public model. With that said, I know there are excellent private schools. This would be in addition to those. It seems like the best compromise will present itself when real-world tests are done. The whole school won't be devoted to training, but there will be a certain percentage of training. The fact that there is a single focus (Your startup at the end of the road) will be the motivating force for students. I would've given anything to know that there was light at the end of the tunnel besides "go to college". I totally agree with you. Education is a wonderful journey, not a race. Students would be able to find out what they like and a specific idea that motivates them, then get access to resources that would help them create value relating to that idea.
