Creativity would be encouraged, and part of the teacher's job would be to identify talents and encourage them. And teaching wouldn't be restricted to the classroom.

That sort of choice can backfire a la Burger King consumerism. There is a scope and sequence which education must address, and then there are electives. Good teachers nearly always include challenges to creativity. Recently, the university came out to watch a Latin challenge I issued to students, and one of the deans told our principal that she had not seen anything so creative in challenging thinking at any school she had visited. That session was not inside a classroom.

I'm not sure what you mean there. How would my suggestions backfire? What kind of sequence are you talking about? What do you mean by challenges to creativity? I'm not disagreeing or agreeing but it's just that I don't know what you mean.
