My current idea for this is to have AI administer the 1:1 oral exam. I’m quite confident this would work through grade school at least.

For exams you’d need a proctored environment of some sort, say a row of conference booths so students can’t just bring notes.

You’d want to have some system for ephemeral recording so the teachers can do a risk-based audit and sample some %, eg one-two questions from each student.

Honestly for regular weekly assignments you might not even need the heavyweight proctoring and could maybe allow notes, since you can tell if someone knows what they are talking about in conversation , it’s impossible to crib-sheet your way to fluent conversational understanding.

These days a teacher cannot ever be with a student in a 1:1 situation. At least not in K-12.
