How about unschooling/homeschooling? Being stuck in a classroom all day was torture and do you really think students learn best when they're forced to be obedient?

And on the job, rather than the adversarial management vs. union mentality of a factory, teachers need to be given the responsibility and autonomy to improve teaching and student performance.

So what they're saying is that homeschoolers/unschoolers have had it right all along. However, they want to bring in only some of the ideas that make unschooling successful. Small reforms never really amount to anything.
