True, but I don’t see how that relates to the central point. Do you think that individual differences are large enough such that the gains to be made from specialization aren’t large enough to justify the investment I’m proposing?
I wasn’t refuting something or even disagreeing; I was elaborating on something else that is worth attending to in order to meet (what I suspect to be) your goal. This isn’t a refutation; it’s a “yes, and also …”
Part of what schools all over the world are doing is not just re-creating lesson plans, but providing specific student experiences. They may sometimes be doing this by deliberate design, and sometimes by following rules that are not terribly good, and sometimes pretty much winging it.
And just as some lessons might be better than others for learning (and thus, worth replicating rather than reinventing), some student experiences might be better than others for learning as well.

Oh ok.
