Their scaling is entirely via staff promotion, funnily. So they do scale but on another axis -- bureaucratically.
Terrible policy aside, I have a theory that schools — and large public schools, particularly — are terrible social environments in no small part because they don't grow organically. Imagine a start-up forced to bring on 60 managerial staff & 800 unscreened rank-and-file on Day 1https://twitter.com/webdevMason/status/1129191799048744960 …

(As an outsider) speculate it doesn’t help that even in established schools teachers are primarily solo practitioners with only the bare support of a few administrators. That’s just the nature of status that teachers don’t get to collaborate with their immediate peers very often.

During childhood you don't know who you want to be with when starting a company you generally have an idea. Also a valuable skill to interact with all types of people (personality wise)

What on earth would lead you to believe that children don't know who they want to be with? They're remarkably good at experimenting with social configurations and self-selecting themselves into functional groups, when they're not actively prevented from doing so

I have come to realize that a huge chunk of stupid school stuff is about keeping the teachers in check. Most good ideas don't survive the "can you implement this with a staff that doesn't care and can only be disciplined if they break clearly specified rules?"
