The expansion of the scope of public schooling to include mitigating a broad range of social problems reminds me of how US police have been forced to deal with social issues that they are not really equipped to handle, such as, mental health, child welfare, drug addiction, other poverty adjacent problems, or the like.

There should be another agency directed to dealing with these out-of-scope issues. Because actual education efforts and funding gets diverted to dealing with the social issues rather than providing education.
