Maybe, but single moms with only a high school education who homeschool, will place their kids int he top 60% of publicly educated kids.

Nothing matters more than parental involvement. And if every conversation about public education centered around "we can't do much if you don't care about little Johnny's education" maybe parents would start doing more. I'm not sure that being ambivalent about your child's education isn't a severe form of child neglect.
