If running a school is like a business, why then is it “a non profit”? Why do you get a tax write-off for donations to schools??? Why is it considered tzeddaka to help keep it around? It should fail and a new one will exist, if it is needed (law of supply and demand). Why can’t it meet its budget every year?
Professional courtesies are not the norm anymore. Besides, what yeshiva, day school or bais yaakov makes money every year? (turns a profit)?? So according to your words, it should NOT provide any such discount to families that are in chinuch. Why cant it be based on need?
Question:
Why is tuition so much cheaper in NY (some have quoted as being 6-7000 dollars) vs. out of town yeshivas, and people still complain? Many out of town yeshivas the minimum is 10,000 per child. Cost of living is more expensive out of NY. Maybe it all comes down to budgeting. Schools and families both need to stick to their budgets to pay all their expenses.
