And as an aside, I did just fine in a public school with 35+ per teacher.

Does that 35+ factor in the sizes of the classes that were special ed? Because they are averaging 36 students per teacher, which means that for every class you have with only 20 students per teacher, you need to have another that is 52 students per teacher -- or two classes of 44 students per teacher, etc.
With all these No Child Left Behind things, targeted funding, reporting requirements, etc. you need a bureacracy just to keep up with the compliance functions. Also costing money: reporting to the school board and/or parents on why there are or are not team sports. Funding litigation, settlements and awards for the many lawsuits parents bring because Johnny wasn't allowed to be on the team/Johnny was pressured to be on a team.
But in a perfect world, sure, no bureacracy. No gov't. Information costs don't exist. Whatever.
