Writing:
Families who do not send their children to government- financed schools should not be required to pay taxes to support universal education
Government- financed schools are coercive political monopolies that are funded through compulsory taxation and that have a captive audience of pupils through mandatory attendance laws People must pay for the school system even if they do not send their children to state- run schools or are not satisfied with them The state uses its coercive taxing power to take money from some, even individuals who do not have
children, to fund the education of others Students can attend any public schools without any tuition
Since many aspirational parents want to give their kids a ‘leg up”,
and “ better education” Parents were also more satisfied with the
‘control of violence, drugs and alcohol’ at private than government schools To send their kids to private schools which are rather expensive and competitive, parents have to pay tuition, money for school facilities and many other things, that is a financial burden to many families especially the poor ones who cannot afford to pay private tuition after bearing their school tax burden So, to my opinion, in the absence of a tax-supported system, parents will benefit by keeping their own money The money belongs to the parents, not the government They would then
be free to choose their own children's schools
In addition, if the poor are excused from the numerous education taxes that currently exist, private education are more affordable and widely available to them, this means that poor families would be more able to afford the cost of financing their children's educations, then they would have the funds to pay for private education It is also likely that private scholarships and charitable assistance will be available for lower income families, especially when the person or organization funding the scholarship knows that he is paying for a superior educational product For the sake of country development, parents shouldn’t be denied the right
to choose the type of education they want for their children Children do not learn in the same way, at the same rate, by the same methods, or under the same conditions Parents are in the best position to take into

account the relevant differences in their individual children and should be permitted to select the appropriate education for each of them It is
critical that parents purchase education directly, when, and only for as long as, they believe their children require it Of course, it is likely that the pursuit of happiness will supply enough incentive for people to want their children to improve educationally
in the marketplace according to the preferences and valuations of
education consumers In a free education market parents and students would decide based on the perceived costs and benefits of each
option Only the total separation of state and school can re-institute
parental responsibility, protect parents' rights, and allow students,
schools, and teachers to flourish in a free educational environment
Parents have moral authority over, and responsibility for, their own
