I think at least as much effort on poverty needs to happen as fixing K-12. Already by the time kids enter kindergarten, there's a massive effect of poverty; and it persists through K-12 even in the form of who eats what kind of food and how. Very basic. I like the way the French do food with kids in school. Kids eat lunch at school. They do not bring sack lunches, and they don't get to leave for lunch. All of them have access to the same food, and kids experiment with foods from an early age.
