Another option is aggressively tutoring students who fall behind. Finland does this to great success. I'm not sure what the ratio is now, but at one point there was a tutor for every 7 students on average in Finnish schools. You're absolutely right that it would be costly and politically difficult.

Yes, there has to be a will to do it. It is distressing that in the US at least there is a widespread movement in the other direction. It threatens to make shittier for us all (except those who are completely insulated, of course).

And being insulated to avoid the crap is its own kind of shittines. Like living in a gated community not for fun but to avoid getting robbed.
