> we have experienced a rapid decline in the subjective and objective quality of education.
Interestingly, on this we agree. That’s why throwing more bodies at the problem (your initial suggestion) is not a solution that I think would work. When a typical educator is asked why a certain teaching or learning method works, their answers tend to be both incorrect/incomplete and remarkably shallow (e.g., it worked for them when they were in school).
The research available points at multiple tried and true ways of learning, but getting these ways of learning implemented in households and in the public school system in the US is a Sisyphean task.
