No. College is about learning from experts, not being treated like high school students.

High school’s problems are much larger and more complex.
Yes, but only for those teaching future teachers. Regular exposure to the classroom could keep their skills sharp and relevant.
No.
We should focus on integrating community colleges into high schools instead of forcing professors into high school classrooms.

Most students don’t earn many AP credits, so skipping a few intro college courses isn’t a major issue.
