You think FARMS is a important factor to consider.
This is not necessarily the case for everyone else.

I don't care about the FARMS rate itself. I don't want my kid going to a school which has low performance. If the FARMS kids perform better (than non FARMS students),I really don't mind even if it is a 80% FARMS school.

And "to benefit ALL student", no, I don't think so. Politicians want people to believe that, I can certainly understand that part.

A high-FARMs rate is nearly synonymous with low performance. Show just one instance of a school anywhere in the country that has a high FARMs rate but is high performing or a school that has a low FARMs rate and is low performing.

I am not questioning that.

I am just saying, it is fine that you care about performance. But if you want to raise one school's performance by sacrificing another school's, it would be quite natural that parents from the latter school would object. And I can't see how people can be so confident to say this is for a "public good".

The parents of the latter school are not part of the "public"?
