SickScent.......long shot here, but years ago I read a wonderful science fiction novel that had to do with education. The main portion was about a general (or generals' daughter?) taking over the US (sort of a coup) and how that change lead to a different way of schooling. It focused on four or five "delinquent" types and what they created when allowed to run with their own ideas. Amazing read, honest.

Now, the trouble is, I *thought* the title was "The General's Daughter", but apparently this is not correct. Does any of this ring any bells with you? I would dearly love to ferret out a copy of this, if I can figure out the title.......you would find many parallels between that novel, and this video :)
