I know this is typical for the US so this is more for US people to respond to. I wouldn't say that it is the best system for work, just wondering about the disconnect.

Well most universities have TAs that either just do all grading, assist with grading, or help with lesson plans and it seems to work okay.

In an ideal system, there isn't a reason that grade school teacher couldn't have a TA that is also present in the class and familiar with the students.

    Well you would have to hire someone to do that, and it’s my understanding that teachers are mostly underpaid and understaffed, so to at a minimum double the number of teachers would be excessively costly, to the point where even imagining it is laughable.

    Not that I don’t like the idea, it’s just not feasible.

    See: "In an ideal system"

    This whole discussion is complete fantasy to begin with since changing the fundamental scheduling of the public education system would require a complete overhaul anyway.
