Teach children to teach themselves

Schools should explicitly empower children how to explore and learn about what THEY want to learn.  A class (or afterschool proram perhaps? just something.) on how to understand what interests you.

Along the lines of the google business model of 20% time dedicated to personal interests-type deal.

School can be soul-crushingly rigid and I can't imagine that's the way to get children excited about learning anything.
