Wouldn't more funding in public schools just eventually lead to more expensive private schools which leads to there being new standards set for education? We've seen this recently with a college degree becoming the new high school diploma in regards to the job market.

That has nearly as much to do with changing standards. While I was completing my teaching credential I watched the standards process dumb things down so schools could achieve an "acceptable pass rate"
