"If government involvement is cause of failure, then why is it different in Germany, France and other countries where education quality is much better that America's."
Government involvement doesn't cause failure. It causes inefficiency and a loss of liberty.
The question about education is a non sequitur and relies on the false premise that there's a causal relationship between government running education and education being better in those countries.
In many parts of Europe, there is school choice - something that doesn't exist here. In many European countries, schools are state funded, but students are free to enroll in whichever school they wish - even private school. So, while the government subsidizes schools, doesn't actually run them in most of those countries.
Teachers unions in Europe have a merit based pay system - something American teachers unions are completely opposed to and consider "an insult". European countries also have higher standards for teachers.
Education is more important to Europeans as competition for schools and jobs is greater, thus parents are far more involved in education and more demanding.
So, in fact, while European education is completely subsidized by the state, government is actually LESS involved in the school system in most European countries than it is in the United States.
