"Imagine if, for an hour or two a day, schools told students to chase their interests" — This reminds me of Google's much-heralded 80/20 rule, which encourages engineers to spend 20 percent of their work time pursuing projects of their own design (out of which came Google standbys such as Gmail and Adwords). This policy is essentially an interest-driven curriculum, and rather than stifling productivity or innovation, it fosters these goals. Schools have a lot to learn from this model, and while our aim as teachers isn't precisely increasing student productivity, it is—-or ought to be—increasing student engagement. An interest-driven curriculum is a promising way to do this.
