You may be interested in the term ‘inverted classroom’, if you’re not already aware of it.
The basic idea is that it’s the normal school system you grew up with, except students watch video lectures as homework, then do all work in class while they’ve got an expert there to help. Also, the time when the student is stuck in one place and forced to focus is when they’re actually doing the hard stuff.
There’s so many reasons why it’s better than traditional education. I just hope inverted classrooms start to catch on sooner rather than later.
(Edit: I know this isn’t your exact proposal, but it uses many of the features you mention and it can be immediately grafted into the existing public school system with a single change of curriculum and the creation of some videos. It’s the low hanging fruit for education.)
