One solution to this problem is making "flipped classroom" a mandatory at all the schools.i.e. students go thru lectures/videos at home and do homework collaboratively in the Classroom. The Real world is more collaborative compared to our schools. Flipped Classroom is proven to increase scores as well. Question: What efforts are you willing to put in making this happen?

> The Real world is more collaborative compared to our schools

People keep saying this. I must be living in a different shard of the real world than those people. Collaboration is nice, but at the end of the day, the work has to actually be done, not just talked about.

Distinguishing between work requiring a heads-down approach and work that can be sped up by collaboration (shared understanding, parallelisable tasks) needs to be learned and school's a good a place to get started on that as any.

I haven't seen any sources showing that flipped classrooms were proven to increase scores- what studies are you referring to?

Edit: grammar
