OK, so would you like to deliberately and willingly increasing the chance of having "bad apples" around your kids?

Increasing "bad apples" around your kids, how? Are you saying that there are more "bad apples" among poor kids than among non-poor kids?[/quote]

No. I am not saying that, you are. It is amazing so many people just want to distort other's view so that they could argue against an easier target - sorry, that is a target out of your imagination.

I am saying there is a better chance of having "bad apples" from low-performing kids. Doesn't matter if they are poor or rich.

But nobody is talking about adjusting boundaries based on test scores. In fact, how would you even do this? They are talking about adjusting boundaries based on school capacity and demographics. So if your comment is, "Why would you want your kid to be around more students with low test scores?", it's irrelevant to the discussion.

To say nothing of your idea that kids with low test scores are more likely to be "bad apples" than kids with high test scores.[/b]

Seriously  -- my kid has low test scores and she's hardly a trouble maker.  Jeez.[/quote]

Oh, there are high performing drug dealers too.

We are talking about statistics, not a few individual examples.

There are some "low performers" who became low performers because they simple do not study. There are likely very few high-performers that can do that (becoming high performers because they do not study?). 
Students who do not study at school, can be quite annoying at times (especially in team projects).

As for other aspects of being a "bad apple", maybe low performers and high performers have similar contributions.
