The problem is Universal yeshiva education for all and affordable tutition for all are actually contrary to each other. Even if a school charges $2000 a kid tution, for a family with 5 kids, thats $10,000 post tax income. When you make $50,000 a year thats alot of money, many people make less than $50,000 and cannot pay the tution and unfortunatly many yeshivas do not follow acceptable accounting procedures like endowments , properly paying employees on time (Its against the law not to pay on time, even teaching torah) and its also foolhardy not to have proper insurance on your school. One lawsuit can shut down the school because of neglectful practices
