That's an interesting point - sacrificing quality for quantity. You see it in so many fields. Like agriculture. Back in the day, every farm was 100% organic. But just try feeding today's population that way. Now you pay a premium for organic. So in some sense maybe education is no different. Just doing more with less, or rather, doing less, for more people.


Another interesting point: People graded on quantity (making pots) made better pots than those graded on quality (one masterpiece).

"Quantity has a quality all its own!" :)
