That's just the way things are. Some people are driven. Some people are not. The driven people, given access to tools and information, get to be better educated and live better lives. Why should the future be any different?

Cynically saying everyone is in the unmotivated category is wrong though. For every person that becomes a cyberpotato there'll be another that chooses to chase cyber-godhood. Just like there's people that give themselves a college education equivalent on their own time with free tools today.

Jesus Christ, what a way to run an education system.

"Sorry Parent, we didnt teach your kid anything this year because he wasnt driven. Better luck next year."

No. Just No. A school has to teach all students as much as they can, not just the "driven" ones. Get them to sit down, shut up, listen, take notes, ask questions, and yes it will all be tested on the exam.

I imagine you'd be a very "fun" teacher. The idea is to combine fun, game-like education with self driven standards. It can't work for everyone, but neither does current public school. Neither does religious school or home school. Neither does current self education. I don't know if it'll work, it'll have flaws and not work for everyone because that's how everything works. No matter how good you do, some people just won't try or will fail. It's simply a new tool that'll be added to the toolbox.
