As appealing as it sounds, I'm not convinced that an ancient
pedagogical approach to learning Greek would be superior.
I wonder if it would be more fruitful to see how modern languages
with, say, a similar system of inflectional morphology to Greek are
taught now.
I would guess that looking at how modern Russian children learn their
morphology would be more useful than how Greek children did in, say,
Plato's time.
I'm just speculating though.
