Ivan Illich's vision for education may finally come to fruition.

Matt could have expanded his risks a bit more, at least to point out that no system will ever be perfect, and, ultimately, every student is different. Completely razing the current system may not be a great idea, because some students need the classroom setting (of course, as Matt points out, many of these students are left behind anyway because the playing field is often tilted toward the strongest students). That said, I suspect many other students would do very well in a more open setting (or, ideally, some combination of the two).
