The pie, i.e., school funding and resources is not infinite. A deluge of crappy students means efforts directed towards remedial classes and programs, and/or even slowing down regular paced courses so too many of them don't get left behind. The best teachers want to work in the best districts. Remedial courses and character/behavior issues does not make for a prime workplace. Nobody with better options wants to deal with shitty delinquents.
You only get one shot at raising a child. There's no reset button, you want your child in the best environment to become a highly competitive college applicant.
Successful, highly educated two-parent, type A parents [[who are grooming future leaders) don't sit around and wonder if the tide is turning at their school, or if a district will "hold on." They bolt. It's not a racial thing, it's a my kids are preparing to go to UM, Duke, Notre Dame, etc., I'm not going to give some dull kids who don't care about school a chance to latch onto them and bring them down.
