The subtle issue that I'm not sure how to resolve *well* is that if you have a 6-kid pod, I eyeball that as 5% of all employed Americans being teachers. And if you have 30 kid pods, it beats 1500-kid schools, but the chem *lab* was a lab for a reason.
The public education system already employs a tremendous number of people, many of whom do no direct instruction. I've mostly lost the sense that K-12 system is efficient even if the only metric is a freed up labor force.
The average tenure of a k-12 teacher lasts only 4 years. That leaves a ton of ex teachers who may not be working who would be happy to earn the same teaching 6 kids as they did teaching 30.
100%. Teacher turnover is crazy — especially given that nobody goes into that field expecting to get rich. I've talked to a lot of former and current teachers. They don't feel like they signed up to do the job the way they're forced to do it.
