Most parents either are not interested or don’t have the time and resources to provide the at home educational support kids need. Teachers cannot do everything, and they are already stretched thin and underpaid (~1600 school districts across 24 states in the US are on 4 day weeks to attempt to retain teachers). Admins want to maintain the status quo as long as possible; they appeal to parents at the cost of teachers and are in no position to obtain more funding. Therefore, we continue to stumble towards educational system failure.
The domestic educational pipeline to college, broadly speaking, is in poor shape.

days they are so stressed they cannot function and
48% say that most days their stress is completely
overwhelming compared to other adults (20% and
26%, respectively)."
