I think one thing the US does well is provide education and support for mentally disabled children, and children from foreign countries who need remedial ESL instruction. To speak in generalities, in many schools it makes up ~25% of personnel spend, while the proportion of children may only be ~5% of the population. It really is more egalitarian then you might think over here.
