it's a self fulfilling prophecy. create a mindset based on "institutions" instead of individual action (and the corresponding response). remove individual responsibility and consequence for negative actions. then when this population of bad decision makers destroys a school's reputaion by being filled with poor students (again, by choice), blame the school for being an institution that is subpar
Here's what kills me: Let's say it is unfair, and your kid's school isn't a good as it could be. What are going to do?

Once upon a time not too long ago everyone knew this. Unfortunately it has been forgotten by many.

You left out:
c.) I am going to use school vouchers to get you to a better school and thus refer back to point b.
But liberals like you traditionally oppose such vouchers as do not allow said choice in where a parent can send their child to get the best possible education.
