Seth Godin, best selling author and marketing expert, has published a free e-book called Stop Stealing Dreams, where he expresses his ideas on on how schools should work, based on today's world and realities. The general focus of the book is best described using his own quote, "Our kids are too important to sacrifice to the status quo".
Many other authors and thinkers have criticized the current school system, and personally I like Alfie Kohn's work the most. There was also an interesting Oscar winning documentary some years back, that exposed the significant problems with the current american education system called Waiting for Superman, which is also definitely worth a view.
