I'll try to boil it down as much as possible.
- concentrating more on conflict management and problem solving, especially at younger ages
- concentrating less on cookie cutter routines
- concentrating more on creativity
- English class only mandatory k-10, and the last two are literature only. Kids should know grammar backwards and forwards by the time they're in middle school.
- PE includes curriculum on diet and fitness, not just running and dodge ball
- free college for teachers and tripling the current education budget
- an independent and transparent department of government to ensure that schools only teach facts in the math and science department
- longer school day and longer school year
- all teachers must be educated in the subject they teach
- the one and only standardized test, the SAT, will be changed completely in format and content every year. You study for the test by going to high school; no special classes, no special books.
- classes in high school to help kids explore the different careers out there
I can think of a lot more, but that's a good start.
