I have a very specific vision for how to reform education. Would be happy to partner up with people who feel similarly:

I have a platform that can be used to build it all but could use a good business partner and extra JS/Mobile developers can't hurt.

The business partner would help make pilots in schools and colleges. Just maybe a class here or there at first, then prove it out.

Please see http://qbix.com/blog for how we could partner together. If you are interested to talk, see my HN profile.

I agree with Bernie that college should be free but disagree that it should be free in its current state. It can b made much cheaper if you flip the classroom in the way I indicated above. That is what should be made free (ie paid for by the government).

In Primary School (everything up to High School) we need to reform the terrible top-down dynamics. I know about them secondhand because my mom is a teacher. School is a daycare center for parents who work. Kids are overdiagnosed with ADHD. Paul Graham wrote about school being a veritable prison back in 2003 (http://www.paulgraham.com/nerds.html) Things only got worse in the last 20 years.
