Yeah, no shit. This is what happens in literally every single instance of privatization, it’s the entire point, and republicans fall for it over and over and over again.

Republicans don't "fall for it," it's exactly what they want

The rich Republicans don't fall for it. As you said, it's exactly what they want. They send their kids to top end prep/boarding schools, and pay for top tier tutors.

The poor Republicans are complete morons that fall for it, hook line and sinker, via the reasons above so that culture war bullshit propagated by OWN, FoxNews, and Breitbart propaganda networks keeps the good times rolling.

Rich people need the "have nots" in order for out of control Capitalism to keep working.

Don’t rich Republicans care about their property tax bills skyrocketing due to this?

lol, why do you think they're all so adamant about abolishing property taxes? Ties right back to why Republicans spread propaganda against public schools. A lot of states fund public schools via property taxes. They want to kill off public schools for private charters to both unload property taxes and have their rich buddies make profit, AND pump out more idiot 'poors' that'll vote against their own interests driven by propaganda, fear, and racism because they have absolutely no education to counter it.
