This is the problem. We need to have competition between schools or teachers. It is _literally_ the halakha.
It is business 101 for competitors to create differing products instead of competing on price. This works well for products you can not easily evaluate. So, if a mattress company creates a “unique” mattress (mostly by having a unique product name), they win. If consumers or government force a standard (such as USB, where U stands for Universal), then you can suddenly pay $1 for a disk that was previously $50 when each disk had a unique interface.
So, if we can several yeshivas, or just teachers, teaching stam Chumash and Gemorah and compete with each other, all Yidden will benefit.
