5 year olds and 90 year olds on the same manual
I also think that teachers of little kids and teenagers will not want to spend the time to craft age-appropriate lessons so the kids will get less and less gospel instruction
kind of reminds me of Warren Jeffs, when he ran the Alta school in Sandy Utah, he gave the same devotional lessons for all grades from five year olds to 18 year olds
