Today is a ranty day.
Teaching is not difficult. Teaching is solved problem. Has been for generations.
The problem is that teaching is both expensive (inherently and inescapably; you need people, they need to be comfortably inside their peak sustainable workload as a matter of average workload, and they need to be considered socially valuable) and socially unacceptable (because education dissolves class boundaries). Effective education is opposed by all the money and most of the middle class.
