How Much Better Can Schools Get?

Yesterday's post was awfully negative, so I thought I'd go the other direction today. With the assistance of technology, how much better can schools get? Besides I think this is how most Science Fiction writers try to go whenever they try and look at the education of the future.

What if there were a complete change in thinking and much more time, effort and funds were put into public education in this country. Would that change things? What if class size were reduced to 10 students per class max and there was enough money for all the special programs that anyone could wish. What long term effects would these changes have on society? Would other parts of society suffer because the money had been re-routed? If this was started today, what would walking down the street be like 25 years from now?
