That's a great point.
I still don't see why (unless you are a public schoolteacher, and also very self-centered and very greedy), why you'd oppose school choice in any form - charter schools, vouchers for private schools, whatever...almost anything, is necessarily better than sending a well-meaning kid, to a failing urban school.
I grew up in a crappy city that had a very, very rough public high school. My parents broke their backs to send me and my 4 brothers, to a Catholic high school. It was an awesome school. I cannot imagine how much easier life would have been for us, if we were allowed to use vouchers to offset some of the cost. Today, there are a lot of families out there like we were.
