At the end of school, each student should have some practical tools for later use. For instance, my wife took a special program on problem solving in Grade 5 (this was a university-sponsored pilot project) and still uses these techniques. Like me, she doesn’t remember much else about school other than her role in school play, her friends, etc.

A first step would be to open up the schools to the community and get away from standard curriculum, counting teaching hours, standardized test, etc. Until schools change, I consider them separate from work, because they are completely disconnected from work/life. It doesn’t have to be this way.

BTW, here’s a good example of diagramming – http://www.idiagram.com/CP/cpprocess.html
