I think the problem is magnified by the status of teaching as a profession. Teachers compensation and work conditions are less than ideal. People that would be great teachers leave for other fields with better conditions. This will attract people who are good playing by the rules even if they are bad at teaching.

Very few people care about students time usage and future as long as they follow those processes.

It's crazy how little value we see in kids and teenagers time usage and filling it with dumb tasks is the standard.
