anon for this:
Could be anything, such as a hint of a TV (or other “bad influence”), or some small (or large) slight/fight that makes a parent decide that her/his child should have nothing to do with another person’s child. I truthfully don’t know of any specific cases, so I couldn’t tell you. I just see the reasons quoted here.
I doubt “they are upset because these parents can’t pay full tuition, and they don’t want to subsidize it?”
We ARE talking about Lakewood.
