"We all know what initiatives like California's leads to. Parents from middle to upper class families will send their kids to private schools or invest in extracurricular math programs."

People with money and wherewithal are always going to have alternative options available to them, such as private education or moving to expensive neighborhoods with strong schools. The problem is when public school policy results in actual degradation of education for everyone else.

School district quality has a significant impact on home values in California, and that wouldn't be the case if the majority of high earners sent their kids to private schools.
