I think it all boils down to goals. If we need a standard health care and standard education, we will need standardization. If we need to handle special personal cases, we need special treatment. Things can be improved, but frankly I am amazed at how process oriented our education and health care has become.

Follow the steps specified by a school, get the minimum marks specified, that means you have learnt the basic skill set needed by you to function in society. If you need to learn extra, there are other channels available.

Same thing with health care. A patient shows some numbers, treat those numbers. If something feels off, the doctor takes the call. That's why we still have human doctors and not AI.

Also, one major difference between education and health care, in education the customer is different from the one who pays. So the goals get differently from the start(make my kid the best mathematician-parent(paying), I want to be a footballer-kid). So who should the school listen to :)
