> It also strikes me as quite perverse to blame people who are able to move their children out of schools that have become terrible (through no fault of their own). People not being involved is a big way schools become terrible. If the people who would push for quality can simply opt out instead, what's left? If the people who know what it takes to succeed abandon the system, who left is supposed to even know what is required to make the public system succeed? Any loss of funding pales in comparison to lost passion and expertise. Most public services that the well-off don't have to use are going to suck, because the only victims are by definition the ones without much power to make change!
