Without CCPvirus lockdowns, at least HS should have drastically changed over a decade ago. Many problems can be reduced by allowing students to work at their own pace. Typically kids get a week's worth of work done in a few hours.
All the worries about social ostracization are bs. We still need the facility for testing, labs, PE, music, sports, and whatever else I've left out. Students will probably perform poorly in subjects they hate. Some students will perform poorly without the structured classroom setting. So you reduce the school population at any given time by probably well over a third, which plays well to the crowd that's paranoid about spread of communicable disease. Meanwhile everything else improves drastically. At the College level this is true even moreso.
