I do not have the answers to the tuition crisis. But please understand, as someone who works in Yeshiva administration and does not recieve an automatic tuition reduction, I do not know of a Yeshiva/Day School who is able to remotely cover their budget with the tuitions collected. Actually, the general formula is that they hope to cover payroll with tuitions. I agree that perhaps some administrators could use a brushiup on thei interpersonal communications skills,some of this comes form the fact that they are tired of getting the runaround from parents. Parents want Caddilac service at Yugo (for those that remember what that was) pices. They aren’t willing to give up on any amenities to save money. The answer “just fundraise” is rediculous.
There is an expression, “it is easy to be amartyr, when someone else is doing the dying”.
