The key is to make it a priority to move to an area where all the families promote a culture that views academic excellence as a good thing.
I know this isn't available to everyone due to financial limitations. But it's probably available to more than realize it.

By the time you get to where "real" academic excellence matters (college) you have already made a choice based on what you have been exposed to. I'm talking about exposing children to as many professions as possible with no pressure from their childhood peers to fit into the more archaic gender role. However, that is a brilliant way to curb the really damaging bullying.

All sane people will want to move to the same places, rising prices substantially until people are forced to borrow huge amounts of money to buy houses in nice places, causing a housing bubble, causing a crash.
