| Abstract | In this article, the author discusses how, despite of the advances in today's technology, the way children are educated now is remarkably similar to how they were educated decades ago. More than any other modern-day institution, schooling is nearly impervious to change. He notes that America's "old school design" is not working with high degree of consistency and reliability, and cites three reasons why America seems so unresponsive to these dismal realities: (1) The country has lost its outrage about the deplorable educational statistics; (2) The $400 billion per year status quo that makes military-industrial complex look nimble by comparison; and (3) America does not believe in there is a "next" generation of schools. He further notes that schools have failed to make students the masters of their own learning. As such, he suggests an "independent learning" model that should be practiced at middle schools and high schools. This model would allow students to spent half as much time in class. With this arrangement, half as many teachers would be needed. The federal government could then double the salaries of teachers without increasing taxes by a single percent. (Contains 1 figure.)
