Some solutions to education and teacher/parent/difficulty:
- Teacher rotation or a couple teachers + tutors rotating to help as more of a team effort, could be larger classes to offset costs but it would help take pressure off the sole teacher. Students can be involved in teaching as well, teaching you learn the most from. Finland uses this in their leading education system [1][2].
- Separate teaching from grading, have grading be a teacher/tutor committee where teachers are only part of it, so when parents complain there is more information and it also eliminates errors, is more fair and teachers can't just dislike some kids.
- Allow superstar teachers to be virtually/online accessible to students and teachers for teaching certain curriculum with the class and teachers as helpers to go over it.
Basically a team based approach to teaching and more access to winning learning strategies and teachers/methods, especially with so much information online available.
We also need more project based teaching (individual and team) and curriculum like Finland [1] which will help in many ways, they also do more open plan learning i.e. not in one classroom [2].
A big problem is the legacy/current model we use with one teacher, bunch of students, one room, curriculum that is memory based but not even good memory learning like spaced repetition and very little interesting subjects while students/teachers have to get up too early and are on too much of a schedule while learning/teaching.
Finland has it right, and more like the real world, project based, with more time to be free and explore what you are learning in concrete project examples with teams of people/teachers/tutors to help you learn it.
