When the purpose is to improve the education of students, liberals can find all sorts of reasons that transfers can't be done. When the purpose was integration, no problem was too large to surmount.

Accountablity requires that some remedy for poor educational performance be found. We can argue about degrees of success and what remedy makes the best sense. Taking the kids out of a poor performing school seems to me to be valid in two ways. First, the poor performing school ends up with fewer students, hence less pupils to educate and smaller class size. Second, the faculty is put on record because money flows to schools in proportion to the number of students. If the school is capable of reallocation of resources then they may pull out of the poor performing group. If not, then they don't deserve to be saved.
