Do private schools siphon the best teachers from the public school system? If so, that would be one negative consequence to consider, no?

Two tier is a great emotive phrase to get people worried about whether rich #######s are getting ahead. Well done.
And even though it's rhetorical, to play along there's no answer to your question is there. So shut'er down anyway, just in case? Ban private schools. Charters and alternate programs too, since the problem would be the same?
