The Insatiable Desire to "Learn"

Can you imagine what an educational institution would look like if the following was the dominating force present?

"All learners would enter into the classroom, regardless of the content of the course, with this driving motivation. What can I learn in the class that will help me answer questions in my passion area?

The educational institution is a designed system that connects the learner with their passions. The system provides them with a process to ask questions in their passion area, a process to answer those questions, a forum to display their findings, and a recognition for their efforts and quality. All facilitators of this system is trained in this unique system. The learner is driven by the passion that they have toward their personal interest. The system uses that passion of the personal interest to motivate the learn core content. Think about the typical Algebra classes. For the most part, students leave the classes with the question, "Where will I ever use this stuff?" But in this system of education, the student experiences the answer to that question not in a small number of word problems at the end of the section in the textbook, but in the practical application of answering their own questions in their own interest area. This intrinsic motivation has goes with him/her into every class. The magic elixir transforming the learning environment in public education.
