by the way, just so you all know before you decide to call yeshivos a bunch of money grubbing thieves,
Did I miss something?
I saw some comments intimating that yeshivos may care about money more than keeping some kids in school. That point may or may not be true and is certainly debatable. But I failed to notice that anyone in the other thread used the term “thieves” or any synonym thereof.
the average yeshiva now wants 10K a year, gets 6 or 8K a year, and the average cost per student in public school is 17K a year to the state. so just keep that in mind when you’re talking about yeshiva tuition.
My understanding of this (and I could be wrong) is that heavily disabled children skew that average, as the cost of their care is much higher than that of children without disabilities. Most yeshivos do not accept children with severe disabilities (as they lack the facilities to care for them).
I’d be curious to know how the costs compare once non-disabled children are removed from the equation.
