Reply To: To accept all children

Is it because chasidim have the achdus to maintain a community based system of paying? Whereas the yeshivishe community doesn’t have enough ahavas yisroel achdus to accept a child from a talmid chochom father who is out of work?

Yes to the first, no to the second.

In almost all cases, the second would be accepted to any school (I would hope, and have seen). We are not asking about a temporary loss of income.

Also I would hope that Chassidim would accept non-chassic children who need a spot in a yeshiva. I would think they do.

To all those who answered “there are no additional costs”. What happens if there is only one spot (classroom can fit only x desks, even with the door off 🙂 and you have two children, one that pays and one that doesn’t. The school could really use the extra 6K, and what if they can bring in even more via donations and friends?

And besides, it really becomes a progression. If you accept 10 children who pay an average of half (lets say 4K out of 8K), you lose 40K for the class, and multiply by the number of classes, etc.
