This document proposes firing students from traditional classrooms and replacing traditional education models. It argues that the current education system isolates students and separates academic and technical learning. Instead, it advocates for giving students more responsibility by having them "play the whole game" of learning through experiences in the real world. This would better prepare students for the jobs of the future by teaching them skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and entrepreneurship through learning that incorporates failure and consequences.

18. “Those who are waiting for this recession to end so
someone can again hand them work could have a long
wait. Those with the imagination to make themselves
untouchables — to invent smarter ways to do old jobs,
energy-saving ways to provide new services, new ways
to attract old customers or new ways to combine
existing technologies — will thrive. Therefore, we not
only need a higher percentage of our kids graduating
from high school and college — more education — but
we need more of them with the right education.”

24. The American high school has followed three critical
operating instructions that are so ingrained in the culture
by now as to seem natural: Segregate students by class,
race, or perceived academic ability. Separate academic
from technical teaching and learning. Isolate adolescents
from the adult world they are about to enter.
