It would be so nice if I could blame the high tutiion cost on Kollel families who get a reduction. But the truth is the school my children attend has no kollel families in it. (although it should now be obvious that a critical mass of kollel yngeleit is something the community can no longer afford to subsidize). Indeed the school does a remarkable job at fundraising and recently put up a 35,000 square foot building without implementing a building fund or any other surcharge. It doesn’t have a mandatory dinner, nor does is there a counterfeit money . . .er scrip obligation. I would be shocked to learn of any fiscal dishonesty on the part of the administration. The fact is that it costs money, a lot of money to educate children. The other fact, is I don’t know for how long I’ll be able to afford it. So something’s got to give.
