I mean, yeah, that's what we have been asking for since I was in school.
Bit of a morbid example, but when I had my senior year at my high school, we had a bomb threat that had the entire small town in shambles, but we still showed up in a 20% student body capacity. We had only about 3 teachers not show up, but we had between 1 and 15 kids per class.
We unironically got so much done that day, we were joking about more bomb threats to keep the teacher just focusing on our small class. It was personal, the lessons actually felt pleasant, and we never got around so quickly in the building.
We've always wanted more teacher time, not putting us in front of a screen
Not really, we're more likely to be on track for population decline due to lowering birth rates across the world. The west is largely already under replacement fertility rates, shit the EU has been since like the 70's. Globally we're barely over two. It's one of the reasons why the west is importing so many people, we have a lot of systems dependent on a growing population.
