IMHO: Schools should be no different than grocery stores, you should be able to shop knowledge and get what you need from any school, teacher or professor. They should not force you into learning something you will never need and waste a billion people's time. They should not teach you anything beyond basics, but encourage you to research on your own for a project, a purpose, a goal that you define yourself.

Schools should build a friendly, personal and nice environment around people, strengthen the weak, speedup the slow and motivate the smart .

tl,dr:Schools should sell individual knowledge, become a more important part of the government, do startup acceleration, be your mentors and community.
