well, the mindless drone part is what the current system's status quo is.  I fail to understand why we shouldn't try to change that.  I think (it's not listed, but there're other similar choices) is to teach kids how to think.  The current system teaches them what to think, therefore teaching them to be mindless, fact absorbing, drones.  ex. see MEAP test, IOWA test, ACT test, and other equivalency tests.
