The way you describe it, it sounds like the problem is a lack of parental involvement and not necessarily the schooling system itself

- rhelz 2y agoIMHO, 80% of the problems with public schools would go away if they were not funded from property taxes, but paid by the state out of its general budget. If the rich parents knew their kids would get the same education as poor kids, you bet average educational achievement would skyrocket. And the other 80% of the problems would go away if parents spent 2 hours a day on their kids education.
- matrix87 2y agoI feel like actually getting rich people to behave in ways that benefit the general public is a lot less straightforward Suppose schools get funded like that. There's several other ways that the rich could ensure that their kids get a better outcome while still maintaining the relative advantage
