In person school is definitely the answer. The real challenge is the student teacher ratio you mentioned.

I think the ideal is ~10:1 sorted by student performance/learning capacity increasingly for difficult subjects (so students form a cohesive classroom pace of subject material). Which will also give variance to friend groups if you sort students differently per subject.

AI tools will be great for public schools where its often 30-60:1. We still have to get past the 'confidently wrong' AI though.

why would something like 10:1 be the ideal

bloom seemed to show you continue to get improvements all the way to 1:1

maybe the ideal is 1:3 or something

Making friends is a really valuable part of school in my opinion. Possibly exceeding or at least equaling the value of whatever you're learning.

If theyre the right kind of friends you will be able to learn more with them than from a 1:1 teacher.
