Fun story, Daniel.
Reminds me of a more serious article, an essay written five years ago by Daniel Pink about the educational system as it existed then and, for the most part, now. Yegge's "Wizard Schools" may still be a few years off (as his article implies) but many of Pink's concerns are already being dealt with in many of the schools represented on this (Squeakland) list.
Daniel Pink's article is at http://www.reason.com/0110/fe.dp.schools.shtml
One thing is certain: we can't invent the future by merely perpetuating the past.

I'm not sure where I got this from. But it's quite interesting:
