I was most taken by his ideas on education. The voucher system will never happen, of course, which is a shame. I also love the idea of small school springing up all over the place (I'm not a huge fan of the current education system, and I'd love to see it disrupted)
as for trying to teach computing in schools, well that's long been rant material of mine (ask anyone who's been unfortunate enough to mention to me how pleased they are that their school's spending money on a room full of new computers), so don't get me started...
Interestingly enough, many states attempted voucher programs, not to the extent Jobs suggested though. It did spur school upstarts. I know Florida had a Pre-K voucher program, and as a result, Pre-K schools popped up all around. This was sometime in 2006-2008. I'm not sure if they discontinued the program or not, but education levels were on par with public schools, with a per-child cost of about half.
