My professor Charles Rathbone had us watch that video recently. It was great, but he did point out something that really resonated with me.
"Sir Ken Robinson has some great ideas but he did not have to figure out how to implement them."
I think this points out something very important and related to this thread. The thread asks what would you do with unlimited funding. I think the more important question is "how" would you progress if funding was not an option.
Saddly I think the more important question that will be coming sooner than later is how do you teach kids without any funding? But many of us have been playing that game for a few years now anyways.
