Debating national education policy is silly. The solution has to be implemented subjectively, on a case by case local basis.

There's one overarching variable: class size. If you can get class size down to less than 17-18 from the 25-30 range, it makes a huge difference. The next big jump, to class sizes of less than 10, isn't feasible for public schools. Best national policy: a mandate of at least a couple hours a day in a class of 15 students or fewer.
