Well, if 'everyone' decides that Apple computers are the best personal
computers, that will simply permit Apple Corporation to grow.  It would
be the same for a good school.  Heavy demand for enrollment would create
a huge prospective cash flow for the good school, enabling it to obtain
financing for new buildings and staff. But let's cut to the crux of the
matter here.

Increasing competition in the education industry will not necessarily
yield the same quantity of benefit to every school child.  But it will
increase the average benefit across all school children -- by comparison
to what the present public school system yields.
