The solution is more teachers, smaller class sizes and not underpaying and abusing teachers to function as nanny’s also charged with raising your children.

This isn’t exactly a mystery problem, we’ve understood clearly how to educate humans well for quite a while. It’s just that doing it properly is “eXpEnSiVe” as if the alternative, isn’t quietly orders of magnitude worse, and more costly.

Even if you doubled the number of teachers (which you won't), we're still not getting to anything that resembles individual instruction.

We're still basically warehousing those kids, and we can do better.

class sizes of 15 is better than 30 and 7 is better than 15.
