As a start, reduce class sizes...
This, in particular, is something that I've done a fair amount of research on. Although the jury is still out, the best conclusion I've been able to arrive at is that for most kids, class size isn't strongly correlated with achievement, at least not within a reasonable range. Class size only seems to make an appreciable difference for kids that are "at risk", i.e., those that don't get much academic support at home.
So I might be jumping on you for just one small aspect of your opinion, but from the part of it that I do know about, I have the impression that you're just jumping on board with conventional wisdom that hasn't had much testing.
You might be able to improve some things like this, but to deliver it as a factual answer is a disservice.
