    The biggest mistake music teachers make is under-challenging their students. "Oh there not ready for X. " .. If you give them X and they like it then they will get ready and do very well.

    Will is framing the new paradigm as "different" vs. "better", but it seems to me that different IS better. Perhaps it could be more adequately be described as a shift from "product-based" to "process-based"?

    I look at statistics.

    Yes some students are raised very good.

    What is the percentage. I claim 4 % .

    Then I say public education is failing

    Great talk, Will. It is a daunting task to prepare 21C global citizens from an institution mired in 20th century pedagogy.

    This is amazing. This is something I, as a 17 year old student, can relate to. It's such an important issue. This is something I 'm passionate about .

    Have you seen "Making the Choice: When Typical School Doesn't Fit Your Atypical Child"? You can find it on the Gifted Homeschoolers website. It's right in line with your arguments.
