I think online courses and AI education need the kind of supervision you mentioned. But they should also be able to give career advice, not just watch the room and push students to focus.
I'm not talking about the perfect classroom. I'm talking about something that could realistically be better than the ludicrously underfunded garbage we have today.
My urban public school basically spent as much per year for me as it cost for me to go to Harvard. I am not convinced of this ‘underfunded’ as root of problem thesis.
