Do like they did in an episode of Star Trek and have a computer program teach and then test each student individually at the end of each lesson before they can continue to the next lesson. Rinse and repeat. Remove teachers, period.
Example of what I mentioned. It removes standardized testing, per se, and makes progression based upon individual.

I do think that’s the solution.
Of course, the Establishment won’t like it.
A long time ago, reading was taught with Phonics. And the do-gooders said that one method does not work for everyone. Which is true. Some percentage of students (10%? 20%?) didn’t do well with Phonics. So, they abandoned it entirely and switched to Whole Language. Which didn’t work for about 75% of the students. But that was OK, because at least it wasn’t Phonics.
They did the same with Math. In the 1950s, average students could do math in their heads, balance a checkbook and perform complex math with a slide rule. But then Sputnik came along, everyone panicked and we switched to New Math and, later, other methodologies. And mathematical illiteracy has been increasing for the past 60 years.
The Establishment knows what works. And they avoid it. They say they need methods which are more “fair”.
Well, putting a major emphasis on technology to teach students and getting rid of 90% of the teachers would help most (but not all) of the students. And that’s better than what we have now. And it would be so much cheaper.

This just shifts the opportunity for corruption to the course developers. As it is some of today’s “state approved textbooks” are outrageous. They have actually managed to include wokeness in “”hard subjects” like math.
