Why can't the public schools in poor neighborhoods be fixed? Some cities have had a good experience in turning some inner-city schools into magnets.
Also, students at all public schools are not "suffering." If that was true, my high school's graduation rate from college would not be what it was. That might be true for some NYC schools. There are also some private schools that I would not send my child to at all.
Some people will choose to go to the school that's closer than their homes, or where their parents went--regardless of educational quality.
