That is a large part of the concern and it is happening because of inequality. Funding for public education gets cut > rich people move towards private education > more education funding gets cut, partially swayed by rich people who have no vested interest in public education > public education gets shittier and shittier > private education becomes leagues ahead of public education > only rich can afford great education > only rich can afford nice jobs.
Things like this happen slowly over decades in all sorts of areas. That is how the middle class in the US has been hallowed out. It's not about the rich becoming richer, it's about the lower and middle classes becoming poorer. And in many cases, though not all, the poor becoming poorer is directly tied to the rich becoming richer.
