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 with this statement?

Some

people

believe that parents of children who attend private

schools

should not need to contribute to state

schools

through taxes.

However

, I completely disagree with

this

view. For a variety of reasons, it would be wrong to reduce taxes for families who pay for private

education

.

Firstly

, it would be difficult to calculate the correct amount of

tax

reduction for these families, and staff would be required to manage

this

complex process.

Secondly

, we all pay a certain amount of

tax

for public services that we may not use.

For example

, most

people

are fortunate enough not to have to call the police or fire brigade at any time in their lives, but they would not expect a

tax

reduction for

this

.

Finally

, if wealthy families were given a

tax

discount for sending their children to private

schools

, we might have a situation where poorer

people

pay higher taxes than the rich. In my opinion, we should all be happy to pay our share of the money that supports public

schools

. It is beneficial for all members of society to have a high-quality

education

system with equal opportunities for all young

people

.

This

will result in a well-educated workforce and in turn a more productive and prosperous nation. Parents of children in private

schools

may

also

see the advantages of

this

in their own lives.

For instance

, a company owner will need well-qualified and competent staff, and a well-funded

education

system can provide

such

employees. In conclusion, all citizens are responsible for funding public

schools

and I do not believe that any financial concessions should be made for

people

who choose private

education

.
