the web now has all the material to take someone from a grade school level of understanding through an intermediate college level. what doesn't exist is all this material aggregated and organized into a curriculum. With college degrees becoming increasingly specialized at the expense of general domain knowledge I feel that something of the sort organized along the lines of wikipedia would be a boon for millions of people.
