It’s not even the pay. Every child deserves the education to be tailored to them but there aren’t enough people to sit down one on one with every kid. No budget meant no kid ever got one on one unless they had a disability and the school got money for another person. It always came down to not enough bodies. The pay was just insult to injury.

    those are only in rich private schools. public schools get a very short end of the stick when it comes to personal teaching. its basically pass everyone or shunt the poor performers into a useless class so it doesnt mess up the funding.

    One on one isn't even necessary, look at the Montessori curriculum, two competent Montessori guides can manage a classroom of 30 kids with each kid working at their own pace (within guardrails, of course). The structure of public education in the US is a problem in addition to chronic underfunding

    Montessori style education works very well for certain learning types, but often under-supports others and can suffer from poor implementation just like any other educational model. One-on-one is far superior for some students, and that will never not be the case.

    in a private school that is almost guaranteed, in public schools impossible, also districts are cheap and wont hire enough teachers(contractwise)to deal with this.
