We can have school houses with children of different ages. Online classes uploaded on the cloud..maybe zoom sessions with teachers and ten kids asking questions recorded and uploaded. That way..everyone gets a turn.
Kids can learn when they want and how much they want. According to their ability and interest. Just pick what interests them most and go in depth or learn superficially.
School years are not one calender year but 5 years. So kids can learn at their own pace and have time to educate themselves rather than cram for tests. This is not to say that we should lower standards. We can still have the same metrics as we have right now but make it five years instead of one year per grade.
There can be 2-3 supervising teachers at the school house for doubts tutoring etc..But older kids also teach the younger kids. The key is to keep the overall class sizes small and have enough diversity wrt age. I am fond of 250-300 sized groups.
Maybe kids visit the school house twice a week or have school trips or travel. Children have to learn to be by themselves or with peers their age or kids slightly older than them as mentors. The further adults get away from kids, the better it is, IMO.
Child rearing is a full time job. This isn’t to say that parents don’t have a job. In fact, I think most working parents globally are moonlighting multiple jobs. Ones that pays and one that is child rearing. I blame feminism that said that women can do it all. I also blame men who keep making the joint decision to have children without considering resources.
Schools have become day care centers and nannies for kids. This isn’t an ideal situation. Sooner we lose that notion, better it would be for the world.
