Change the way our education system works.

I think that the Education system in America is corrupt and useless. There is little to no benefit for the student. In high school, for example, the "smart" kids may understand the curriculum but are slowed down and forced to go along at the speed of the "average" student. The "slow" students, however, are forced to go along to the next topic in whether they have mastered the current one or not. This can cause them to be left behind and fail, lowering the chances for them to get into any of the high class colleges. The whole 'lecture, practice, test, move on lecture, practice, test, move on,' is just not giving the students all the education they deserve. Websites like Khanacademy.org and coursera.org are some examples of what I look forward to in the future of education.
