It's a well known fact that Google (and other companies) allow their employees to take 10% - 20% of their on the job time to pursue their own interests. This has resulted in some pretty amazing innovations.
Students (and adult employees for that matter) are often tied into a rigid schedule of "getting things done." The ability to work on an agenda that actually interests you would be a massive change in education.
Passion - based learning on an ongoing basis.
What would be the effect of this on classrooms and students? How could it be structured? Could it be "sold" to administrators and parents?
