Parents are making this choice to give their kids a better education, and anyone with the same opportunity would do it too. I very much disagree with the assumption that "anyone with the same opportunity would do it too". This is the kind of logic people use when trying to justify something to themselves they know might not be the moral choice, but they want to choose it anyways. Diverting resources, whether those resources are students, tax dollars, or parental volunteer time, away from public education harms the students who attend public education and harms our society. Rather than put the time and energy into building a proper community, those with means instead prefer to wall themselves off from the rest of society, which harms everyone.
