It seems that the world would only need a handful of teachers to provide all the basic (and I mean basic) education anyone ever needs. Then we could all concentrate on developing our personal potential, individual talents and performing to the very high levels most of us would be capable of if we could only have enough time. They say it takes 8,000 hours of anything to become an expert. That's never going to happen in a modern school with a curriculum crammed full of obsolete knowledge and subjects. but if we had more experts around who had more time to teach children, the sky's the limit.

While I agree with your premise, there are times you have a question or the teacher's explanation just doesn't click for you. Sometimes you need to be able to have 1:1 learning, however I'm sure there are a number of solutions to this problem.
