One year of one teacher tutoring one student contains far more attention than 12 years of one teacher teaching 30 children.

Also, school is as much a daycare so the parents can go to work, as it is a place of "learning".

Furthermore, you study specifically to pass tests. Actual learning is a secondary side-effect of education.

Curiously if we stopped trying to teach infants for 12 years, there would be enough teachers to tutor 18-year-olds with proper attention.

Daycare exists already. If that's what we want, that's what we should pay for and get. Seem like theatre to combine the two.

A great deal of postmodern civilization indeed seems suspiciously much like theatre :)
