NGL, I've thought about making games like this for years and even made a few prototypes. Nothing inherently wrong with it.
But actually learning things is only *half* of education, the other half is teaching students *how* to learn. A (good) human teacher, even in a room full of kids, is able to help them get over blocks, where to find resources, or even provide specific information they need to understand larger concepts; in short, all the skills they'll need to learn things for themselves as an adult.
Video games can't do that. They can test problem solving skills and drill facts but the way they do that is specific to games, or even the game itself; it doesn't apply to anything else.
This is part of the whole "raise kids in pods with only the specific skills they need to serve the 150,000 elite" plan.
