Then tax the rich properly, and they'll bear the lion's share of anything public funded.

Ruining public schooling by under funding and having expensive private education for those that can afford it is just the neoliberal agenda. If there were no private schools, if they were illegal, along with home schooling -- not saying they should be, but if they were -- the wealthy would pump funds into the public schooling system before you can say "fuck you got mine". (Kinda like no private bunkers would mean a sudden interest in mitigating climate change globally and for everyone, hah)
