I have spent over a decade in school and this has literally never happened to me. I went to second rate middle/high schools, so maybe teachers in "good" schools have some deep insight which makes interactions with them actually desirable?
In any way, this desperately does not scale, at the current ratios you would require a single teacher having "deep, long-lasting" relationships with ~hundred students at once, which just isn't feasible.
Even if every adult in the society got involved, the proportion drops by just about an order of magnitude. I can't imagine myself tutoring a single child, let alone ten of them!
- njarboe 8y agoTutoring children are what parents (are suppose to) do. Maybe if society enters the much talked about post-scarcity mode, humans tutoring each other is something we could spend a lot more time doing. I know I'd enjoy it.
- toasterlovin 8y agoBut why would we spend precious time personally tutoring our children when we could use the earnings we would forfeit to bid up real estate in neighborhoods with good schools, where our children can compete for 1/30th of the attention of somebody who probably doesn’t care about them all that much?
