should not be required to pay taxes that support universal education. When

families

send their

children

to non-public (

that is

, parochial and private)

schools

, they must pay tuition and other

school

expenses. Spending additional money to pay taxes creates an even greater financial hardship for these

families

. They must make sacrifices, trying to have enough money to pay for

school

in addition

to other bills.

For example

, my friend

Amalia

is a single mother with an eight-year-old son, Andrew. Because they survive solely on her income, money is tight.

Amalia

works at least 10 hours of overtime each week to cover Andrew's

school

expenses.

This

gives

Amalia

and Andrew less time to spend together, and she is always so tired that she is impatient with him when they do have family time. Clearly,

this

extra expense is an unfair burden for hard-working parents like

Amalia

. While some people may consider parochial or private

school

to be a luxury, for many

families

it is essential because their community's public

schools

fail to meet their

children

's needs. Unfortunately, due to shrinking budgets, many

schools

lack well-qualified, experienced educators.

Children

may be taught by someone who is not a certified teacher or who knows little about the subject matter. Some problems are even more serious.

For example

, the public high
