I wonder for how many places this is true, globally? And how much overhead you'd need to scale it? It seems a reasonable way to shortcircuit the education system, and you'd imagine regulations make it possible SOMEWHERE or other. https://bit.ly/3fQMb2V 

Varies a lot by district & by state. Utah, Idaho, Oklahoma each spend ~1/3 what NY does per pupil. National average is about 1/2 ($12.6k/student). Still, there are plenty of places where $40k + benefits is liveable & plenty of teachers who'd take that dealhttps://twitter.com/webdevMason/status/1123077339472990208?s=20 …

You're kidding, right? How do you give that kid legit instruction in any subject: foreign language? An art class? Orchestra, band, chorus? You gonno to teach that kid guitar/piano for that? There's a lot more to a well-rounded education than you can do online. GTFO w/that!

In NY you can probably retain a native Spanish speaker for a couple hours/day without blowing that budget.

But the US doesn't spend enough money on public education! I've been reassured of this many times.

US Education might honestly improve if we REDUCED the budget. The massive bureaucracy wreaks havoc on the efforts of every component teacher.

That’s not all labor cost, to be fair

To be fair, you don't really need the rest if you're not aiming to scale

Another Fun Fact: this table only shows *current* expenditures The actual numbers are way higher DC, for example, is $30,000 per student
