The single most important thing we can teach is the value of knowledge. The availability of information will continue to grow, the diversity of teaching methods will continue to expand, and the sociopolitical landscapes will continue to change; by teaching how important knowledge is, we can inspire everyone to take advantage of the resources that are increasingly available, and tailored, to the individual.
Attempting to maximize the area with a y value on the bell curve because we fail to utilize existing resources effectively [1] does not support a dissent with the forward progress—the increasing diversity of—education. You're right, not all kids are equal—and that's exactly why we need to open-source education.
