Instead of overwhelming teachers with this raw energy by packing these dynamos into classes, we ought to reduce the sheer wattage in each classroom to levels that teacher might be able to direct, focus and harness for the good. Here begins my brainstorming: what about having highly trained teachers stay with a very small group of 7-10 students from K-5th grade, allowing them to truly monitor and witness the development of their charges through time?

...mess, all right. The profitable things don't work, while the unprofitable things still do, except no one wants to make them now, and those who use them waste them. Consider electricity. While half the U.S. was earning paper millions dreaming up Tom Swift gizmos, the business of generating raw megawatts was neglected, turning a former commodity into a luxury. Now, in parts of California, the electricity doesn't work either. This...
