It's a multi lane highway.
Yeah, a bunch of problems exist in the schools, no doubt.
OTOH, first generation immigrant kids do much differently than kids after a few generations. It's not because the kids are made of anything different stuff or specifically because of the schools. It's because the parents have different values.
How many parents consistently spend time reading to their kids, how many parents consistently spend time with their kids on writing? Numbers? Mathematics? Shapes? How many spend time on phonics? How many write anything at all in the presence of their children? How many parents with intention try to teach their children morals and ethics and philosophy? How many parents try to teach their kids how to work with their hands? How many even have that capacity themselves?
If we strive to be more like the Asian dad then we'll have more results like the Asian dad. Instead they call generation alpha the iPad generation because many parents give kids a slab with YouTube to shut them up.
Raising a child for a parent is a marathon not a sprint, and most people do not finish (even if they do run out of time)
