So many private schools detract from the public system and leave the public schools with kids/parents who either don't give a shite or don't have the financial means to pay for private school,

So how will more kids in public schools cause parents to give a shite about their kid's education?

It takes a village approach.

A friends parents who gives a shite can hopefully overcome the lack of a good parent. I will say that where I went to public school this happened. Kids that would have otherwise been left behind were shown the way by kids who had incredible parents.

Is it the responsibility of the good parents? Or excuse bad parenting? Hell no. Just saying how introducing better students into the equation can change the school.

It won't. The same parents/kids who don't give a shite will still not give a shite. But raising the population of kids/parents who do give a shite (in schools across the state) by disbanding some of the mom-and-pop private schools who only serve to keep kids segregated... (I mean, let's be honest) will hopefully make the schools better overall.

If a bunch of well-to-do rich New Englanders move to Louisiana, you're still going to have the meth trailers, the ghettos, and the culcha but the McMansions and nice neighborhoods that pop-up will detract from the shittiness. Same concept.

The idea is that hopefully by raising the quality/quantity of good students in our public schools, it will water-down the bad.

That’s actually how it works. I’ve seen parents in neighborhoods here in Houston get involved and turn underperforming elementary publics into top schools....that being said I don’t think it will work for high schools - districts are too big.
