In Denver public schools there are lots of great choices a parent or student could make to get a top notch education. Most of the parents or children are not making those choices.
The high turnover rate initially with teachers is a bit curious. One wonders if there aren't very many teachers who can make this method work.

On that last part, that's kinda tragic. People seem to go about on automatic pilot. Not taking responsibility for their lives.
