| Abstract | This article presents an interview with Leon Botstein, longtime president of Bard College, as well as music director and conductor of the American and Jerusalem symphony orchestras. Botstein talks about his book entitled "Jefferson's Children: Education and the Promise of American Culture" and his views about teens and high schools in America. Botstein's views on teens are far from the mainstream. He believes that teens are as capable as adults in many respects and that they are certainly capable of learning important and interesting things. High school should, in fact, Botstein says, be abolished. It demeans the young, wastes their time, traps them in the vacuous world of teen culture, turns them off to learning and isolates them from and makes them hostile toward the very people they are about to become: adults. He proposes, instead, a compulsory education system from K through 10, with two levels, elementary and secondary, eliminating middle school entirely. This two-level system would end with 10th grade, after which a variety of interesting options would be offered: work, national service, education in specialty areas, and, of course, college.
