Gavrah,?
There is one very practical reason why very few tuition committee members would ever be so cold to ?follow your or the Rabbi’s ALEGEDLY halachic interpretations. That reason is, the gemarrah says a ?person should always greet a poor person with a smile and not embarrass them, because the way you ?treat the poor is how your grandchildren will be treated when they are in need. Any school can ?demand people to sell everything they own in order to pay killer tuitions, BUT at what cost to the ?mechutzaf who demanded it??
The only reason why tuition in the area where parents are willing to send their kids to public school is ?so high is because the schools are trying to display an exclusive image. The board and principal who ?denied the child access to school have to daven that by next Rosh Hashanah they are still in the ?position to deny Jewish children a Jewish education. ?If a person is blessed by Hashem with money and power it is to help a fellow Jew, if they don’t use it properly it WILL be taken away.
