Go 60 years back, when all ages have been in one classroom and the teacher was only teaching the "hard stuff" while most of the other teachings have been done peer to peer between the students.

Most of the time the older ones teached the younger ones. Teaching itself is probably one of the best tests to realize if you fully understood a concept.

Meanwhile a lot of other social skills should improve as well, including basic empathy, communication skills, self reflection, being humble,….

Additionally in germany the first thing which needs to happen is banning the "forced schooling law".
Most other countries have a "forced education law", which tries to make sure that you learn the basic skills like calculus, writing and reading. It can be done in school or at home.
In germany you do not have an option, since home schooling or alternatives are forbidden by law.

Never a good sign if you have to ban the competition and potential control groups^^.
