You don't define 'proper conditions for learning'.
How about a space of your own? An environment that isn't disturbed by noise?
Easy access to books and study aids? A laptop? Fast broadband? All the Amazon vouchers you can eat? Parents who aren't worried about basic financial security?
Where is the threshold?
I guess you mean 'good enough schooling', but that's hardly enough if the rest of the environment does its damndest to devalue what 'good enough schooling' is trying to do.
And a point no one has mentioned is that schools homogenise try to homogenise education.
A good education would try to find individual talents and nurture them on top of a baseline of general competence.
The industrial production line approach to education is the opposite of this. Now, as it happens we have plenty of students who need training, and we have plenty of adults who need jobs.
I doubt everyone can be a teacher, but there could be a lot more talent-based education than there is, without having to turn it into the 'personal extra tutoring for my snowflake' model that richer parents pay for.
