I was reading about Eton College and it rekindled in me the on again, off again flights of fantasy I have about running a school, specifically a high school (or if I had the qualifications and stomach for it a University) which attempts to rekindle the old ways, although not at the expense of the new.
For example: Latin, calculus and physics should be compulsory, as well as a solid bout of literature. Further, personifying the new ways, computer science &c should also be taught. I don't know if such a rigorous curriculum would either a) offer the flexibility that is wanted, or I would argue needed, for modern students or b) have enough appeal to garner sufficient students to be successful (read: scrape by).
