This is already happening in a significant way. See also: why funding schools with property taxes is objectively evil.
The only mitigating factor is Khan Academy and its surrounding ecosystem. A motivated learner with internet access can excel in spite of the school system.

So and so came from a violent environment with food scarcity, and THEY succeeded, so you can too!" - Nevermind that that person's environment produces generation after generation of poverty (hence, "cycle") and violence. Khan Academy mitigates nothing - it's a structural failure.
