Not sure what exactly in my comment you are objecting to so vehemently. The issues you describe are exactly the same as with any mass production, including food.
If we are talking about babysitting, then of course I agree—much more efficient to have one person babysit 15 kids.
If we are talking about learning, then I am vehemently objecting to “a normal education is just/almost as good as homeschooling”.
The point of the example I gave (mastery learning vs. speed in the classroom) was that you can’t mass produce education in the naive way. Taking advantage of division of labor in this context would mean hiring tutors.
