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.

Where that funding is applied is a huge factor as well. For example, spending it on administration doesn't seem likely to have a positive effect on educational outcome.
