Academia Based on Future Performance

What if we took the academic institution and turned it around? What if instead of resting on laurels academics were measured by their goals--estimates and actuals--each year. What if education became an enterprenurial venture? What if an education plan was based not on whether you could color within the lines and connect the dots, but upon the ability to experiment and the experience more important than success or failure? What if education instead of regurgitating the trodden path involved taking the student express to the bounds of knowledge and revealing all that lies unexplored? What if failure, recovery and final success was a prerequisite? What if every student could have a mentor?

What if we could care and share our ways to academic success and ultimately professional success?
