The government is resisting class size reductions because of all the additional costs associated with reducing them. You'd need more buildings, more staff, etc. Plus, this works. Always has and always will.
As for kids' mental health issues, those have always been there, but we just have names for a bunch of them now that we didn't used to have. People haven't changed.

Same era and I 100% agree. But, also in the same era, children with learning disabilities or just weren't academically inclined, were separated and grouped together. Schools try to avoid that now (I have no idea why), hence, the complexity issues others have mentioned.
