But aren't those two areas exclusive (in the real world)?
Public schools shouldn't pay teachers $100k/year (what I'm supposing a top-notch private school teacher would make) because is inefficient use of such a limited budget, but without a private school option the "best and brightest" teachers are encouraged to work in a more lucrative field.
So how do you encourage the best and brightest teachers if you do not accept that not everyone will be taught by them?
Universal excellence is niave, universality leads to mediocrity.
