I wonder what a good approach would be for academics. There's already a very strong and I think unavoidable have/have-not divide between those who have knowledge (faculty) and those who don't (students, who go on to become te

You've definitely identified a correlation, but which direction is the causation, if any? I can easily imagine it going either way (or there be none at all), which means more investigation is required.

You can always implement a FooReader, which iterates over a flow of Foo objects (which might, for example, be items in a slice or channel). We do this all the time. It is, as you note, quite simple and I think elegant too.
