I agree with everything there. Those are some pretty dramatic changes, but obviously what we're doing now isn't working, and things NEED to change. I especially agree with teaching the kids how this is going to apply in their lives after school. There's no point in learning it if you aren't going to use it, and kids probably won't learn it if they don't think they'll use it. In order for them to find an interest in it, they need to be told exactly where its going to come in handy.
