Families who send their children to private schools should not be required to pay taxes that support the state education system. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Over the past decade, Indian parents have encouraged their children to study in privately-owned schools over state institutions.
Thus
, they argue that
such
families are not obliged to pay any levies for the public schools. I agree with the statement for the reasons described in the upcoming paragraphs.
First
, we need to understand why families think
this
way. The main idea behind
this
thought could be the 'trust' in the politicians and the authority system. The taxpayers believe that their wealth was and will be wasted on the development of the educational structure and facilities. To illustrate, government-run systems lag far behind private ones in the spheres of infrastructure, education, and even hygiene or cleanliness. Another reason for supporting the notion must be the increase in the financial burden on them.
In other words
, when people send their offspring to private institutions, they are expected to pay an exorbitant amount of capital to them. To add on, there are many other extra expenses to pay in these systems.
For example
, picnic fees, funds for cultural activities, and so on, force them to dig a hole in their pockets to let their children participate in these activities. So, at the end of the day, they are likely to consider not supporting the government education system with their hard-earned salaries. To conclude
this
topic, the elected regime should increase its focus on developing better schools to rely on.
As a result
, parents will
also
send their children there without any worries. And eventually, they will
also
end up paying taxes for the betterment of the government-run education systems.
