Small class sizes, and engaged parents and teachers. -That's what I want for my kid. I remember loving indoor recess in elementary school though. We had a class computer, and we'd play pong and lemonade stand. My dad, who was a teacher, would also check out the school's Apple IIE for the weekend. It was definitely a beneficial experience.

I'd like my kid to write at least one computer program in his/her life. It's a unique effort.

IMO a successful education creates an intellectually curious person with the ability and desire to figure things out. Everything else is just details.
