I think that trying to change the whole school system is difficult, long range and usually top down doesn't work.
I mentioned that NYC is gifted crazy right now. But one by one, because of demand, schools are changing because parents are getting involved. Putting money and elbow grease to change schools, raising money. But in zones where parents are not involved, the schools are not changing.
When parents are not involved, you cannot change the whole school system. That is another kettle of fish.
