If I could design a school from the bottom up (Money not as issue) it would be very different than public schools today. First, the curriculum would be divided into three core blocks:1. Reading, Writing math, 2. Music, art and drama, 3. Physical education health and community service. The present testing would be abolished. Lessons would be taught from three perspectives, visual, audio and hands on (tactile). I believe a balanced brain and body learns and retains information better than unbalanced approaches.

What about those people who are more hands on like people that would do subjects like engineering, design, food tech/catering???
