Would HS be better if there were PHDs teaching there?

Undergrads are generally overqualified for that, so not. Alumni segregation by capabilities and skills would make HS better.
My old high school had about a 5:6 PhD to pleb ratio in the sciences. It was called "St Paul's School" and was in richmond i think.
It was kinda weird - what kind of a human is going to spend several years completing a PhD and then spend his vast knowledge tutoring teenage retards?
But it was nice to be able to chat to these experts regularly, and I miss that kind of frequent contact now I'm at uni.
>>8036244 No.
The problem is that HSs are structured purely to have students memorize material that will show up on the tests that determine the budget of HSs.
And how to efficiently memorize material isn't part of those tests. So they don't bother teaching it. Which only exasperates the problem.

3 different HSs by the powers of military brat.
Two of them were the "best" in their school district, and other was "good" enough to have an actual budget.
Any HS that tries to actually teach fail pretty quickly. It turns out you need money to do stuff.
The problem with high school is high schoolers.

I went to one like that too. It turns out public high schools in rural Georgia can only be so good, so it's not a big statement.

maybe. anecdote, but i had 3 PhD teachers in HS. All 3 were brilliant but one of them was an absolutely awful teacher. in most cases probably a waste of their knowledge to handhold dumb kids with no intention of learning through elementary subject matter

No. They're too far removed from the basics and it'd be a waste of skill anyway. Why not just teach postsecondary if you already have a Ph.D.?
