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"?

Why are we talking about school performance? We're not educating schools. We're educating kids.[/quote]

When we say "school performance", we mean "student performance" from that school.

Well, let's sub that in. "If you want to raise student performance at one school by sacrificing student performance at another school..." Are you ok with that? If you move some students at School A to School B, then students at School B will do better, and students at School A will do worse? Is that what you're saying? I thought that the whole point of this line of argument was that moving students from School A to School B actually would NOT make them do better?[/quote]
