Fascinating post, as always. I absolutely agree that education should be holistic. The ingredient I've looked into is factoring in the fact that all education shapes the structure, size, activity patterns and development of the brain. What I wonder is whether you can, maybe not quite personalize but something close, the experience so that development is also holistic. A well-balanced brain can surely do more with a well-balanced education.
Skipping back in time a bit, to our projects discussion, I'd like to get the router, the GPR and the Mandelbrot software well into alpha, bordering beta, by the end of the year. It might be possible to get one of them version 1.0 by then.
