He has some really good ideas that would benefit the country. No more assembly line schools. From what he has described, kids would move and learn organically at their own pace and would be able to explore topics they're actually interested in. Couple that with vocational education and good jobs and it sounds much better than the current abomination that's making everyone retarded.

A lot of high IQ people end up as losers simply because they never learn how to work for something in normal schools, because those are too easy for them. And some because they are so damn bored in school that they never even bother to try. But flying through school with decent grades, then failing when they get to higher education that finally may be actually getting a bit hard for them - at least the STEM - when they had gotten used to the idea that they would not have to work because all that stuff was self-evident to them is the most common reason for failure for that part of the population. IF the parents know that the kid is intelligent and do the pushing the school doesn't then the child may learn the habits that will allow them to excel also later in life (and the parents don't push too much and burn their child out that way), but if it's left only to the schools most of them will never reach their full potential, or even part of that.
Waste of resources going on there. A lot.
