Will high schools in your newly designed world have clubs for Photography, Art, Chess, Math and all the usual interests of youths who are on the precipice on adulthood? Or will you jazz it up with topics like Homework Avoidance Strategies, Unique Ways to Start a Conversation, Mating Rituals and Future Wine Critics? Prepare them for the real word, I say.
While I'm on the subject, I wonder if high school will even be necessary. If you design a perfect world, everyone would be born with just the right amount of education they need. Why force kids to sit in a classroom for seven hours a day when they could be making valuable contributions to society?
Instead of formal instruction from ages 5 to 18, consider making all knowledge accessible by pressing firmly on a body part, such as the collarbone. Whatever you wish when you press will instantly come to life. A Dome of Knowledge would envelop you and three-dimensional information would appear. You would never have to ask your dad how a garage door opener works!
