This would be an incredible improvement to educational systems around the world. I think back to that time there was a big scandal in Asia where kids were taking an exam and parents were like climbing up the walls to give them the answers. That's an education system way too focused on fact memorization over practical life skills.

It also reminds me of Stephen Johnson's book `Wonderland: how play made the modern world` and the importance of a little bit of fun in the learning process.
