Three things come to mind...
1) make an intro to logic, where the differences between truth, validity and soundness is made clear, as well as having a clarification as to what are fallacies... the hope is that children can actually learn how to "connect the dots" between difference fields of study, as well as have a ability to risk an individual opinion now and then. Basically so that they can have the courage to fail now and then, rather than play it so safe and sound that they drown in the masses.
2) have a greater emphasis upon physical fitness... what good is all the knowledge in the world if you have to be in a hospital bed with an oxygen mask just to keep the brain cells functioning.
3) grant the teachers more authority as to control their classrooms... parents who only have a few children are not really the best authorities as to educating larger classes. It's sort of like people who like to eat out in resturants making claim that they know best how to work in food services, better than the people who do it as a profession. Basically the ability to have children should not be confused with the ability to educate them. One requires the ability to communicate knowledge and the other just requires functioning sexual organs planting a seed into an egg.

Moral is as moral does and as moral wishes it all too be. - MoS
The absence of all empirical evidence for the necessity of intuitive X existing is evidence against the necessary empirical existence of intuitive X - MoS (variation of 180proof)
Athesim is not a system of belief, but rather a single answer to a single question. It is the designation applied by theists to those who do not share their assumption that a god/deity exists. - MoS
I am not one to attribute godlike qualities to things that I am unable to understand. I may never be in the position to understand certain things, but I am not about to create an anthropomorphic deity out of my short-commings. I wish not to errect a monument to my own personal ignorace and demand that others worship this proxy of ego. - MoS
