RE: What If Students Controlled Their Own Learning?
Not sure if I agree with this. For STEM subjects you need to ensure all students have a common level of attainment before starting university. It also relies much more on having good teachers.
The system you describe sounds quite similar to steiner schools. Could also be worth some research to see if one is close to you for your kids.
This school has both a traditional track to university with an emphasis on STEM and a less traditional one where the university tracks their progress at the school for several years. Since moving to Australia, my view of the value of university has changed. I meet a lot of very wealthy, entrepreneurial people here that never went to uni. Some of them didn't even finish high school.
