I'm grappling with this very much these days as I have been teaching for the last 5 years and facing some truths of the state of education.

This article here points to this idea of how tutoring has changed over time and how that has caused a massive dip in our learning: https://erikhoel.substack.com/p/why-we-stopped-making-einsteins

"Aristocratic tutoring was not focused on measurables. Historically, it usually involved a paid adult tutor, who was an expert in the field, spending significant time with a young child or teenager, instructing them but also engaging them in discussions, often in a live-in capacity, fostering both knowledge but also engagement with intellectual subjects and fields."

I have a feeling you'll enjoy it the whole read.
