It is a crime for education not to be interesting. Just as subjects can be presented in a boring an uninspiring way of course the reverse is true - why shouldn't every subject be presented in this way?
Making the material of the most interesting educators available to anyone. Video and interactive material. Many teachers become learning managers, making sure the students understand what is being explained, supervising experiments etc.
What is being explained must be made relevant to the person consuming it. Subjects should be linked together rather than artificially partitioned.
The importance of understanding other other people. Understanding other cultures, Empathy etc. <unfinished>
