Unfortunately in America people are heavily, heavily resistant to changing the model of education, and I say this as a teacher. You have parents who say they hate math and hated their math classes but will also get very angry when you try to teach their child in a different way than they were taught. Even suggestions like “maybe we could still have a rigid bell schedule but just turn off the very annoying, physical bells” is considered too radical.
I do understand some of it. Parents are very worried about their child’s future and economic anxiety of their child being “left behind” so they would rather go with a model that they know. The problem is the model they know doesn’t work well or at all for many, if not most kids. They worry about their children not learning under an alternative mode when the current model already drives them to playing Fortnite in their phone all day during class.
