Thesis Revised&Sources

New Thesis:
Private school parents deserve tax breaks. The local property taxes that we pay assists in the funding of public services, city streets, roads, police, and fire protection. Americans also pay an additional school tax that is used only in the public schools’ education system. It has become very difficult for many parents to send their children to private or parochial schools. They are now not only paying for their own child’s education but also for someone else’s. People who decide to send their children to private or parochial schools usually do so out of a purposeful and thought out assessment of their child’s best needs and benefits. Although it’s a couple’s own decision to send their child to a private institution, some of their tax money should be returned or at least used towards their own child's education. The government should offer parents of children attending private schools tax breaks or reimbursement vouchers since they do not use the district’s public schools.

Old Thesis:
The local property taxes that we pay assists in the funding of public services, city streets, roads, police, and fire protection. Americans also pay a separate school tax that is used only in the public schools’ education system. People who send their children to private schools, still spend thousands in taxes to fund these public schools. Private school parents deserve tax breaks. Although it's ones own decision to send their child to a private institution, some of their tax money should be returned or at least used towards their own child's education.
