I've wondered about that myself. Consider that from junior high on,
we need (or believe that we need) multiple adult teachers to teach our
children individual subjects. Consider any arbitrary student, taking
six courses from six different teachers.
What is it that's supposed to fit into one student that can't fit into fewer
than six adults?
