You could literally live next to a school and there’s a chance your kids can’t go there.
There are many kids from low income, broken families who are just really bad students. Bullies. Disruptive. Disrespectful to teachers. It was hell going through public schools in SF.
So it's "opt out of being around average people", then?
Average people aim to provide a good a start for their kids as possible; average aims to avoid public school if possible. You now only have a set of people defined by behaviour or ability too poor for private, parents who don't care, or ones with no options...
Basically it's opting out of being around the dregs
Am I correct in reading this as you saying poor people and the ones with no options are "dregs"?

If the average student is a bully, disruptive, and disrespectful to teachers then I think I might actually opt out of being around average people if possible.
And what's so bad about it? Mind you, it's not just 'being around', but "being stuck with them for 30% of your life for years in a situation out of your control".
I wish they were average.
Average people are cool. We're trying to opt out of being around the bottom 10%.
