<<So, even something so trivial as shortening the servitude by a
couple years could be a very good thing, because it reveals that there's
nothing sacred about 'traditional' K-12 education.>>

I think "sacred" is the key word. The reason why the traditional education
system is so hard to change is that it has become akin to a religion,
along with rituals which people dare not abandon.
