More funding will not help the scores come up either.
The only thing that can do that is more parent interaction and involvement.
You're wrong on that. It's been shown over and over again that better funding, mixing streams and classes improves educational outcomes for all. Like with healthcare the US has managed to build a system with the worst of both worlds, high costs, low outcomes.
While it's true that funding and pedagogical approaches can and do factor into student performance, I think that the two most important educators in a child's life are his or her parents.
