What would I do?
I would focus on teaching how to learn. Instead of filling the school with silly playtime like high-school football, drama clubs and show and tells just teach kids how to find and verify information, some logic so they can evaluate different arguments and train their memory by making them memorize stuff. What exactly they learn is not that important. Most will forget the dates and formulas anyway. The skills will stay with them.
So your ideal school has no physical activity, no culture, and is filled with memorization of things that don't matter. Wow sounds like you've spent at least 15 seconds thinking about this. Thanks for sharing!
I didn't say NO physical activity. Just don't make it more important than actual school. No idea where you took "no culture" from. You think you can't research information on culture? Just again, don't make it more important than school. Memorization should definitely be present, I didn't say school should be filled with it.
What I was trying to describe is similar to project-based learning used in Finland. If you haven't heard about it it's worth researching.
you said drama club was pointless :( thats culture
I agree that project based learning is great. Your initial description isn't really a summary of perfect based learning though.
