I've been saying the same, but sometimes I doubt something like that could be implemented. "Based on proven science" doesn't work for most things social.
How do you teach someone to self-analyze and understand where their problems are actually coming from? To question their own conclusions and rethink what they know?
Still, it's possible to improve the current education system, by a lot. The current "learn this, don't ask why" doesn't work, and to make it worse, parents can be just as uninformed and stubborn as their kids, so they'll come to school raising hell over their lil' precious' bad grades.
