We need a return to the Middle Ages

Atlanta and New Orleans schools show the many ways administrators cut corners | The Washington Independent: "“When high stakes are attached to tests, people often act in ways that compromise educational values. High-stakes testing incentivizes narrowing of the curriculum, gaming the system, teaching to bad tests and cheating.”"

The Middle Ages may have its bad points but its best points instruct us. We need a return to gilds, to face to face, to car free communities, to a micro scale that is not built on the model of contemporary Meis-generated factories.

What we produce is what we'll get unless a spark of rebel freedom says thus far and no farther.

Oh and the best point of all. Philosophical realism (Scotus minus Mary) to replace the reductionalist nominalism (Ockham minus aerialism) that has characterized modernity.
