Your comment is indicative of the core problem, apparent total insanity. Reality is that the very last thing American schools lack is funding, considering that the USA spends more money on education than any other country in the world and by a great margin, while achieving really poor outcomes. (Do your own research on sources, it will help you inform yourself)
The real reason for the poor performance of our schools is the authoritarian disintegration and disassembly of American society by having both enabled and defended degenerate behaviors that disrupt teaching because terroristic children sabotage the education of children who want to learn, and because American society that was unified and had common interests and was focused has been flooded it with foreigners that are not only disparate, but they are draining and sabotaging the system because of the divisions they cause through so many different friction points that it’s not even worth starting to list them all. Reality also is that, just like the article we are discussing, nobody can acknowledge or even really understand, let alone accept the consequences of this division that was caused by force, imposed, and against the will of the American people, who have foolishly, even if generously simply accepted the authoritarian abuse of their generosity.
Americans that built the very country that the freeloading people of the world are flooding into and who are being given preferential treatment over the descendants and carriers of the very values that produced what we all have in the very first place. It’s an utter self-destructive process akin to drug addiction that feels great and fun when things are still under control even though you are burning through your savings to fund your addiction that you are so far into you can’t even recognize it. Reality is though, that the consequences are accumulating, regardless of whether you can or want to even acknowledge them, let alone do something about them, and the crash and destruction is inevitable as the drug is used by your drug dealer to exploit and destroy you. So are our schools suffering from advanced addiction to division and fracturing that was brought on by the authoritarian and despotic “diversity” cult. You will see the consequences unfold in Europe just as much as they have in the USA as their division has been increased by force over the last decades, and so will also their mythologized efficient and effective quality education system. Because in the end, the biggest and most important question is how such systematic thinking people like programmers could not realize the massive technical debt of a divided and fractured and pollute code base that was simply “diversified” with every single useless library and language and process one can think of, in a bout of insanity by believing diversity is good when the clear evidence is that unity and similarity and focus and specialization are all not only good, but quite literally produced every single thing all around us even if now deliberate inefficiencies are introduced as a good thing.
