in the present system, constantly fighting adolescent passion and trying
to suppress it. This is a paradigm-busting idea and my favorite 'education
reform plan.'

This is basically how High Tech High works. It is nothing like a
traditional high school. It doesn't look, act or feel like a traditional
high school.
